Use a nonstick or cast-iron skillet to ensure your chicken browns beautifully without sticking.

Instructions

1. Pat chicken pieces dry and season with salt and pepper. For extra crispy chicken, toss pieces in cornstarch to lightly coat.
2. Heat oil in a SENSARTE Nonstick Frying Pan Skillet or air fryer basket. Working in batches, sear chicken until golden on all sides (about 4–5 minutes per side). If using the COSORI Air Fryer 9-in-1, preheat to 400°F and cook chicken for 10–12 minutes, shaking halfway through.
3. Transfer cooked chicken to a plate. In the same pan, add a touch more oil (if needed) and the minced garlic. Sauté 1–2 minutes until fragrant but not browned.
4. Stir in honey, soy sauce, vinegar, chili flakes, and water. Bring to a simmer, then return chicken to the pan, tossing until evenly coated and glossy (2–3 minutes).
5. Check the thickest piece with your ThermoPro TP19H Digital Meat Thermometer for Cooking; it should register 165°F.
6. Turn off heat. Top with scallions and sesame seeds. Serve hot over rice or salad, or refrigerate in Rubbermaid Brilliance Food Storage Containers for up to 3 days.
