Instructions

Prepare the Chicken: Dry the chicken thighs with a paper towel and cut into even, one-inch chunks. Toss them with arrowroot powder, salt, and pepper
Whisk the Sauce: In a bowl, whisk together avocado oil mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt), sriracha, honey, and rice vinegar until smooth
Sear the Chicken: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add avocado oil. Cook the chicken in a single layer until golden brown, about 4-5 minutes per side
