Cut the chicken thighs into 1-inch cubes and place them in a bowl.
In a separate bowl, combine the potato starch, garlic powder, ground ginger, cayenne pepper, and salt. Add the chicken cubes to the bowl and toss until they are evenly coated with the mixture.
Heat the vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, add the chicken cubes and fry for 4-5 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
Remove the chicken from the skillet and place it on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb the excess oil.
In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise and honey. Mix until well combined.
Serve the fried chicken with the honey mayonnaise sauce for dipping.
