Step 5: Combine Chicken and Sauce
Return the cooked chicken to the skillet. Toss well so each piece is fully coated in the honey glaze. Let everything cook together for another 1–2 minutes to allow the flavors to blend.
Step 6: Serve
Remove from heat and garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions if desired. Serve immediately while hot and sticky.
