In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, cornstarch, water, and chili flakes if using.
2. Cook the Chicken
Heat oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Season chicken with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
Cook for 5–6 minutes until golden and fully cooked. Remove and set aside.
