💡 4 Tips for Perfect Honey Chicken
1. 👉 Cut chicken evenly so it cooks uniformly.
2. 🔹️ Don’t overcook the chicken — remove when nearly done before adding glaze to avoid dryness.
3. 🔹️ Simmer the glaze gently — high heat can burn the honey.
4. ✅ Add cornstarch slurry slowly while stirring to avoid lumps.
