Ingredients

• 1.5 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
• 1/4 cup soy sauce
• 1/4 cup orange juice
• 1/4 cup honey
• 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
• 2 cloves garlic, minced

Directions

1. In a bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, orange juice, honey, rice vinegar, minced garlic, grated ginger, and red pepper flakes (if using). Set aside.
2. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
