  • In a large skillet, fry the chicken in batches, for 3 to 4 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Place the cooked chicken on paper towels to drain. Set the chicken aside. Wipe skillet clean with a paper towel.
  • Combine all of the honey garlic sauce ingredients in a small bowl or directly in the same skillet used to cook the chicken. Bring to a boil and simmer for 3-4 minutes. Place the chicken back into the skillet with the sauce and coat on both sides. Garnish with sesame seeds and green onions.
  • To make the sriracha mayo, combine all ingredients in a small bowl.

  • On a baking sheet, toss together the squash, chili powder, salt, black pepper, and 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Place in the oven and roast for 20-25 minutes, tossing once or twice throughout cooking until the squash is tender and lightly caramelized.
