2 lbs boneless skinless chicken thighs
all-purpose seasoning (salt, pepper, garlic, onion powder)
1 cup corn starch

Directions:
Cut chicken into bite sized pieces and season generously. Coat in buttermilk.
Start your sauce by adding sugar, vinegar, water, and soy sauce to a pot and bring to a simmer. Allow this to reduce for 10-12 minutes. Add your orange juice and zest and garlic/ginger. Mix to combine. Add in honey and combine. Mix together your slurry by adding water and corn starch together and then pour into your sauce. (this will help thicken the sauce). Add diced fresno chili
Season corn starch and flour generously and then take the chicken from the buttermilk and place it into the flour, a few at a time, ensuring they are coated evenly.
