Instructions

1. Clean the chicken breast fillets and remove all tendons. Cut into approximately 5 cm long, narrow strips.
2. In a bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, and cayenne pepper until well combined. Set aside.
3. Have a double layer of kitchen paper ready next to the stove.
4. Heat the sesame oil in a large pan over medium-high heat for 2-3 minutes until shimmering.
5. Working in batches to avoid crowding, add the chicken strips to the hot oil.
6. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature 74 °C / 165 °F).
7. Transfer the cooked chicken to the kitchen paper and let drain for 1-2 minutes.
8. While still hot, add the drained chicken to the soy-honey mixture and stir to coat evenly.
9. Let marinate for at least 15 minutes. Refrigerate if storing for later.
