Method
 

Marinade and Cook
  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, garlic, and ginger until smooth. Add chicken thighs, toss well to coat, and refrigerate for 15–20 minutes.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable or sesame oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering, about 1 minute.
  3. Place marinated thighs in the hot skillet; cook 4–5 minutes per side or until golden brown and internal temperature reaches 165°F.
  4. Transfer chicken to a cutting board; let rest for 5 minutes, then slice into bite-sized strips along the grain.
  5. Add bell peppers, broccoli, and carrots to the empty skillet; stir-fry for 3–4 minutes until vegetables are crisp-tender.
  6. Return sliced chicken to the pan, pour in reserved marinade, and toss for 2 minutes until sauce thickens to a sticky coating.
  7. Top the stir fry with sliced green onions, sesame seeds, and red chili flakes; serve immediately.
