- 1 tbsp vinegar or lemon juice
- ½ tsp chili flakes (optional)

👩🍳 Instructions
1. Prep chicken

2. Cook chicken
- Heat oil in a pan
- Fry chicken until golden and cooked through
- Remove and set aside
3. Make sauce
- In the same pan, sauté garlic for ~30 seconds
- Add honey, soy sauce, ketchup, vinegar, chili flakes, water

4. Combine

😋 Tips
- Don’t overcook garlic—it turns bitter
- Adjust honey for sweetness level
- For extra crispiness, double-fry the chicken
🔥 Optional variations
- Add capsicum (bell peppers)
- Make it spicy with chili sauce
- Use boneless thighs for juicier texture
If you want, I can give you a healthier (low-oil) version or a crispy restaurant-style batter version.
