This is a restaurant-quality meal easily made at home. I used chicken thighs.

Put the chicken in the marinade for 30 minutes. Refrigerate.
Preheat a skillet over medium high heat. Add the chicken pieces, reserving the marinade.
Cook until cooked through and slightly caramelized, about 2 minutes each side. The sugar and honey in the marinade will burn easily, so watch it carefully and add the reserved marinade by tablespoon when the pan gets dry. If needed, you can slightly reduce the heat to avoid burning.
