Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by combining your chicken pieces in a bowl with soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, and freshly grated ginger. Ensure each piece is well-coated and let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.
  2. In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of oil over medium heat until shimmering. Once hot, add the marinated chicken pieces and cook for about 7-10 minutes, turning occasionally until browned and cooked through.
  3. After the chicken is fully cooked, remove it from the skillet. Pour in the reserved marinade, bring to a simmer over medium heat, and cook for about 3-5 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
  4. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, ensuring each piece is coated. Cook briefly for about 2-3 minutes, then transfer to a serving dish and garnish with chopped green onions.
