- In a small bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, minced garlic, and minced ginger to make the sauce.
- Remove the cooked chicken from the skillet and set aside on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
- For the sauce mixture into the same skillet and cook over medium heat for 1-2 minutes until it thickens slightly.
- Return the chicken pieces to the skillet and toss well to coat them evenly with the sauce.
