Instructions
Start by patting the chicken thighs dry with paper towels. Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces.
In a bowl, combine honey, orange juice, minced garlic, grated ginger, soy sauce, salt, and black pepper. Stir until the honey is fully dissolved.
Place the chicken pieces into the bowl with the marinade, ensuring they are evenly coated. Ideally, let them marinate for 15-30 minutes.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
Add the marinated chicken to the hot skillet in a single layer. Cook for about 6-8 minutes without stirring. Flip and cook for an additional 5-7 minutes.
Once the chicken is cooked, pour the remaining marinade into the skillet. Let it simmer for 3-5 minutes until it thickens.
