Preparation
- Step 1
Pat the chicken dry. Season all over with salt and pepper.
- Step 2
Heat the oil in a large (12-inch) skillet over medium-high for 1 to 2 minutes until hot and shimmering. Add the chicken and cook without moving until it’s golden brown on the bottom, about 5 minutes.
- Step 3
Use tongs to flip the chicken and cook until just cooked through, about 4 minutes.
- Step 4
While the chicken cooks on the second side, mix together 3 tablespoons of water, the honey and soy sauce in a measuring cup.
- Step 5
Transfer the cooked chicken to a plate and set aside.
- Step 6
Pour in the soy sauce mixture and let cook until the liquid reduces, about 1 minute. Add the vinegar, garlic and butter, stirring to melt and incorporate until thick and glossy, about 2 minutes more.
- Step 7
Return the chicken to the pan, leaving behind any accumulated juices on the plate, and turn to coat in the sauce. If the sauce is too thick, add the accumulated juices, then serve immediately, garnishing with the parsley, if desired.

Liked by both my teenager and me. The sauce is great, very tasty and left a delicious flavour in my mouth! I didn't need to double the sauce and had enough for my rice, but my son just liked soy sauce on his rice, so maybe that's why I had enough. I prepped the ingredients for the sauce in advance. I put the garlic into the apple cider vinegar and it sat for over an hour. This might have mellowed the garlic.... recommend that idea.
Add some grated ginger
I think the recipe author didn't want to write vinegar after each type of vinegar. They're saying use one of these three vinegars: apple cider, rice wine or white wine rather than saying "Use apple cider vinegar, rice wine vinegar, or white wine vinegar."
I made this recipe today and doubled the recipe since I had 2 pounds of chicken. There certainly was splatter - but it was well worth the clean up! I added a 1/2 tsp. of grated ginger as someone recommended. This dish is going in the rotation!
Simple and delicious.
this was excellent. Very easy and fast. there was a slight off note on the sauce, I think the honey burnt slightly. next time turn the temp down to medium. Served with rice and broccoli. everything done in about 25 minutes.
