  1. In a large bowl, combine chicken pieces with honey, chopped chili peppers, soy sauce, and lime juice. Mix well and let sit for at least 15 minutes.
  2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add oil to coat. Allow the skillet to shimmer.
  3. Add the marinated chicken to the skillet in a single layer and cook for about 7-10 minutes, turning occasionally.
