Marinate the chicken: In a bowl, blend the chicken pieces with egg whites, cornstarch, and a pinch of salt. Allow it to rest for about 15-20 minutes.

Heat oil: In a skillet, pour enough oil to fill about 1 inch deep and heat it over medium-high heat until it shimmers.

Cook chicken: Carefully add the marinated chicken to the hot skillet. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until golden brown.

Prepare sauce: In a separate bowl, whisk together honey, minced garlic, soy sauce, and black pepper.

Combine: Once the chicken is fully cooked, pour the honey garlic sauce over it in the skillet. Stir gently to coat.

Simmer: Allow the chicken to cook with the sauce for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.

Garnish: Serve hot, garnished with toasted sesame seeds and sliced green onion if desired.
