Add the honey, red chili sauce, ketchup, and brown sugar to the saucepan. Stir everything together until the sugar is fully dissolved.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally.
In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and water until smooth to create a slurry.
