To make the sauce:
- Add the butter to the same skillet you cooked the chicken in and let melt.
- Add the minced garlic and cook for a minute. Stir in the soy sauce, honey, sriracha, and white vinegar. Allow the sauce to simmer for 1-2 minutes until it thickens. Sprinkle the sauce with red chili flakes.

Notes
To make a saucier garlic chicken add ¼ cup of water while making the sauce.
The same recipe can be used to make chicken thighs and breasts.
We like to serve these chicken tenders over rice and spoon any extra sauce over the top.
