Notes

  • Use chicken thighs for extra flavor
  • For extra crispiness, cook the chicken in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.
  • Adjust sweetness by adding more or less honey to taste.
  • Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a slight kick.
  • If the sauce thickens too much, add a splash of water to loosen it.
  • Make sure the chicken is fully cooked before adding the sauce to ensure even coating.
