Preparation Steps

Begin by cutting the chicken into bite-sized pieces and patting dry.
In a medium bowl, combine honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, grated ginger, and chopped chili peppers. Whisk well.
Add the chicken pieces to the sauce, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover and marinate in the fridge for at least 15 minutes.
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add marinated chicken in a single layer and cook until golden brown, about 7-10 minutes.
To thicken the sauce, dissolve cornstarch in water and stir it into the skillet. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
Serve the Sweet And Spicy Thai Chicken hot, garnished with fresh herbs or chili flakes.
