Tips

  • To lighten up the recipe, reduce honey, use less cornflour, or swap chicken thighs for chicken breast.
  • Adding a splash of soy sauce and a squeeze of lemon juice at the end can enhance the flavor.
  • Mix the cornflour for the sauce with a splash of water before stirring into the sauce to thicken it.
