Instructions
Mix flour, salt, onion powder, garlic powder, and black pepper in a big bowl. Toss the chicken chunks until well coated.
Heat olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the coated chicken pieces until golden brown and cooked through, 4–5 minutes per side. Cook in batches if needed and set aside.
Reduce heat to medium. Wipe out excess oil from the skillet if needed. Melt 5 tablespoon of butter for the sauce.
Add honey, apple cider vinegar, and soy sauce. Stir for 2–3 minutes until slightly thickened.
Return chicken to the pan. Stir to coat in the sauce and heat through for 1–2 minutes. Adjust seasoning as needed.
Store leftovers in an airtight container and refrigerate within 3-4 days. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave. This dish also freezes well for up to a month.
