GETTING READY
1. In a large mixing bowl, combine all the ingredients for the chicken marinade with the boneless chicken pieces. Mix well so that the chicken pieces are completely coated with the mixture.
2. Heat oil in a pan and deep fry the coated pieces of chicken. Make sure the pieces are fully cooked. Once done, remove them onto a paper towel to drain the excess oil. Set this aside.
3. In a bowl, mix together the ingredients to prepare the sauce for the gravy. Mix well and set aside.

MAKING
4. Heat a pan with sesame oil. Add green chilies. Saute on a medium-low heat for a little while until the chilies change color. Then, add the garlic and saute for another minute.
5. Once the garlic turns light brown, add the vegetables. Stir fry on a medium-high heat for about 5 minutes.
6. Add salt and the fried chicken to the vegetables.
7. Add the prepared honey mixture sauce and water. Stir and allow it to come to a boil. Once it starts to boil, stir well to avoid lumps.

SERVING
8. Serve with hot steamed rice.
