Preparation Steps
Cut chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces.
In a small bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, sesame oil, and red pepper flakes (if using).
In a separate small bowl, whisk together cornstarch and water to create a slurry. Set aside.
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
Pour the honey garlic sauce over the chicken. Bring to a simmer.
Gradually whisk in the cornstarch slurry until the sauce thickens. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until the sauce coats the chicken.
Serve hot, garnished with sesame seeds and chopped green onions. Great with rice!
