Start by cutting your chicken into bite-sized pieces, about 1 to 1.5 inches each. This ensures quick, even cooking and makes the bites perfect for snacking or dipping.
In a large bowl, toss the chicken pieces with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and cornstarch. The cornstarch is key—it creates that light, crispy coating when cooked and helps the sauce stick beautifully later on.
Heat 1 tablespoon of sesame oil over medium-high heat in your skillet. When hot, add the chicken pieces in a single layer without overcrowding (cook in batches if needed). Let them cook undisturbed for 3-4 minutes to develop a golden crust, then flip and cook another 3-4 minutes until cooked through. Remove chicken and set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, chili crisp, and remaining 2 tablespoons of lime juice. This sauce is the star of the show—sweet, spicy, and tangy all at once.
Return the chicken bites to the pan on low heat and pour the honey chili crisp sauce over them. Toss gently to coat every piece evenly and warm the sauce slightly—this helps it cling perfectly to the chicken.
Transfer the chicken bites to a serving plate and sprinkle with thinly sliced green onions for a fresh, vibrant finish. Serve immediately and enjoy!
