Steps:
- In a medium bowl, add the salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, cumin, oregano, and cayenne and mix until combined. In a another medium bowl, combine half of the spice mix with the flour, mixing until the spices are evenly distributed.
- Add the chicken to a large bowl and sprinkle with the remaining spice blend. Mix until all the chicken pieces are evenly coated.
- Pour the buttermilk over the chicken and stir until the residual spices from the chicken have blended in with the buttermilk to create a light orange color. Marinate the chicken in the fridge for 2 hours, or overnight.
- Heat the oil to about 325°F (160°C) in a large cast-iron skillet.
- Dredge each piece of chicken in the flour, shaking off any excess. Dip them back into the buttermilk mixture, then back into the flour. Make sure to shake off excess flour or it'll burn while frying.

Tips:
- Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and utensils ready to go. This will help you stay organized and prevent any scrambling.
- Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh vegetables and herbs will give your stir-fry the best flavor. If you can, buy your ingredients from a local farmer's market or organic grocery store.
- Choose the Right Wok: A good wok is essential for making a great stir-fry. Look for a wok that is made of carbon steel or cast iron. These materials heat up evenly and retain heat well.
- Heat Your Wok Properly: Before you add any oil or ingredients to your wok, make sure it is properly heated. The wok should be smoking hot before you add the oil.
- Use the Right Oil: Use a high-heat oil, such as grapeseed oil, canola oil, or peanut oil. These oils can withstand high temperatures without burning.
- Don't Overcrowd the Wok: When you add ingredients to the wok, make sure you don't overcrowd it. This will prevent the ingredients from cooking evenly.
- Stir-Fry in Batches: If you are cooking a large batch of stir-fry, you may need to cook it in batches. This will help to prevent the ingredients from becoming overcooked.
- Season to Taste: Once your stir-fry is cooked, season it to taste with salt, pepper, and other spices. You can also add a squeeze of lemon or lime juice for a bit of brightness.

Honey glazed chicken stir-fry is a delicious and easy weeknight meal. It's packed with flavor and can be made with a variety of vegetables.
