INSTRUCTIONS
Pan Fry Chicken
In a bowl take boneless skinless chicken breasts cut into small chunks. Add flour, Salt, and Pepper. Coat chicken pieces using a spoon. Make sure each chicken piece is evenly coated.
Heat oil in a skillet over high heat. As the oil shimmers, add chicken and cook each side for at least 2-3 minutes. Flip over and cook the other side for another 2-3 minutes. Take them out on a paper towel.
Make Chilli Chicken Sauce
In the Same pan, add chopped Ginger, minced Garlic, and Red Chilli Flakes. Cook for at least 30-seconds or until the garlic turns aromatic.
Into this add Water, Sriracha, Honey, Soy Sauce. Stir well. Scrape the bottom of the pan and mix all the bits in the sauce. Simmer this for 2-3 minutes until it thickens. Add Vinegar or lime juice and simmer for another 1-minute until the sauce becomes absolutely thick. Take a spoon of the sauce. Cool it down lightly and taste it. Check if the seasoning tastes good. If not adjust accordingly. Finally, turn off the heat.
Place chicken in this sauce. Coat Chicken with the Sauce. Garnish with Green Onion, Red Chilli Flakes, and Lime Wedges. Enjoy.

Notes
Instead of Chicken Breast, you can use Chicken Thighs or Chicken Tenderloins as well. But your Chicken thighs will take a few minutes more.
Check the internal temperature of Chicken Breasts with a meat thermometer. If it reads 165F then it is completely cooked.
