4-6 boneless skinless chicken thighs cut into bite size pieces, or 2-4 chicken breasts
2 teaspoons corn starch or flour
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil or avocado oil
5 cloves garlic finely chopped or minced
3 tablespoons raw honey
1 ½ tablespoons apple cider vinegar
salt & pepper to taste
1 tablespoon parsley finely chopped

In a mixing bowl combine chicken pieces with 2 teaspoon of corn starch, salt & pepper to taste and mix well.
Using a skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter and 2 tablespoons of oil over medium heat. Add chicken pieces mixed with cornstarch and cook for about 3-4 minutes, stirring few times.
Next, add 5 cloves of minced garlic and saute for 1 minute. After pour in 3 tablespoons of honey and 1 ½ tablespoons apple cider vinegar. Stir and cook for about 2-3 minutes.
Remove from the heat and garnish with freshly chopped parsley. Season with salt and pepper if needed more. Serve with golden rice with Mr.Yoshida sauce and fresh cucumbers. Enjoy!

If you prefer whole chicken breasts or thighs, feel free to use them. To enhance caramelization, broil them for a few minutes at the end.
You can substitute apple cider vinegar with lemon or lime juice. For some heat, add red pepper flakes.
Instead of parsley, use toasted sesame seeds as a garnish. Add grated ginger with the garlic for more authentic Asian flavor.
Skip the salt and use soy sauce for added flavor. If you like extra sauce, double the amount. Leftovers can be stored in a jar for a couple of days and used as a dipping sauce.
