Method
- Pat the chicken thighs dry and cut into 1-inch pieces. Season with salt and pepper, then toss with 2 tablespoons of cornstarch until lightly coated.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the low-sodium soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, apple cider vinegar, and sesame oil. Set aside.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the skillet.
- Pour the honey garlic sauce into the skillet and bring to a simmer. In a small bowl, mix the remaining 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water to create a slurry. Whisk the slurry into the sauce and cook for 1-2 minutes until it thickens.
- Return the chicken to the skillet and toss to coat with the thickened sauce. Garnish with optional sesame seeds and green onions before serving.

Notes
For the best flavor, use fresh garlic and ginger.
Ensure the chicken is cooked in a single layer to get a nice sear.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
