Creating Chinese Honey Garlic Chicken is straightforward if you follow these simple steps:

1. Prepare the Sauce: In a bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, minced ginger, cornstarch, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using) until well combined. Set aside.
2. Cook the Chicken: Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces in a single layer and cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking.
3. Add the Sauce: Once the chicken is cooked, pour the honey garlic sauce over the chicken in the skillet. Stir to coat all the pieces evenly.
4. Thicken the Sauce: Allow the sauce to simmer for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently. The sauce will thicken as it cooks.
5. Finish with Sesame Oil: If using, drizzle sesame oil over the chicken for added flavor. Stir to combine.
6. Garnish: Remove the skillet from heat and garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds.
7. Serve: Transfer the Chinese Honey Garlic Chicken to a serving platter.
