For the Honey Sauce:
- Heat a pan over medium-low heat and add butter. Once the butter melts, add the minced garlic. Cook for 1 minute, then add the soy sauce, brown sugar, and honey. Add cornstarch, balsamic vinegar, and red pepper flakes. Stir until it binds and remove from the heat.
- Add the cooked chicken to a large bowl and pour the honey sauce over it. Set to the side.
For the Waffles:
