Stir in ground chicken, cook stirring every few minutes, breaking the lumps. Continue cooking until chicken is cooked completely, 5 to 6 minutes.

Notes

Chinese cooking wine can be found at Asian grocery stores or Amazon.

If you don't have cooking wine a good substitute is Mirin, a Japanese sweet cooking wine. If you use this, reduce honey called for in the recipe because Mirin is much sweeter than Chinese cooking wine.

Sweet chili sauce can be found at major US grocery stores, Asian grocery stores or Amazon.
