- In the same skillet, add the apple cider vinegar, fish sauce, lemon juice, brown sugar, honey, garlic, and half of the sliced jalapeños, to create the sauce.
- Bring the sauce to a boil. Then add the chicken back into the skillet, and lower the heat to a simmer. Let this chicken simmer in the sauce, covered, for thirty minutes or until cooked.
- After thirty minutes, mix cornstarch with ¼ cup water, pour into sauce, stir to combine, let simmer for a minute or two until sauce begins to thicken. Plate the chicken with sauce and remaining jalapeño slices.
