Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider marinating the chicken in the soy sauce, sherry, and honey mixture for a few hours before cooking. You can substitute the sherry with apple cider vinegar for a different tang. If you prefer a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sauce mixture. This dish pairs wonderfully with a side of Chinese-Style Pasta Salad for a complete meal.
