  • Cook the chicken in batches: If you are cooking a large amount of chicken, cook it in batches so that it doesn't overcrowd the pan.
  • Use a meat thermometer: To ensure that the chicken is cooked through, use a meat thermometer to check that it has reached an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Make the sauce ahead of time: The sauce can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. This will save you time when you are ready to cook the chicken.
  • Serve with rice or noodles: Honey chicken is traditionally served with rice or noodles. However, you can also serve it with other sides, such as mashed potatoes or steamed vegetables.
