💡 Pro Tips
- ✓Marinate the chicken in the soy sauce and honey mixture for at least 30 minutes to enhance flavor.
- ✓Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F for safe consumption.
- ✓If you want a thicker sauce, let it simmer longer until it reduces to your desired consistency.
- ✓No fresh ginger? Substitute with 1 teaspoon of ground ginger instead.
