1-Getting started with this spicy chicken recipe is simple and rewarding, and you’ll have a delicious meal on the table in no time. Begin by cutting the chicken into small, bite-sized pieces, then toss them with cornstarch to give them a light coating that helps with browning and thickening the sauce later. This step ensures the chicken stays juicy and flavorful while adding a nice texture.

2-Next, heat a cast-iron or stainless steel skillet over medium-high heat and add the cooking oil. Place the chicken pieces in the skillet and let them cook undisturbed for 3 to 4 minutes until they start to brown on one side. While that’s happening, whisk together the sauce ingredients in a separate bowl: unseasoned rice vinegar, low-sodium soy sauce, chili garlic sauce, runny honey, and sesame oil.

3-Stir the chicken to flip the pieces and brown them on all sides until they’re fully cooked through, which usually takes a few more minutes. Once done, pour the prepared sauce over the chicken and let it simmer until the sauce thickens and coats the chicken evenly. Finally, garnish with diced green onion and sesame seeds right before serving for a fresh, crunchy finish.
