Step 4: Coat marinated chicken bites in the flour mixture and set aside on a wire rack or plate for 10 minutes.
Step 5: Fry chicken bites in 350-degree oil until golden brown.
Step 6: In a skillet, combine honey, soy sauce, diced chipotle peppers, rice vinegar, and chopped garlic on low to medium heat. Stir until well combined.
Step 7: Pour the sauce over the chicken bites and serve immediately. Note that the sauce will become sticky as it cools.
