Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb boneless skinless chicken thighs
  • 3 tbsp potato starch
  • 3 tbsp all purpose flour
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 3 tbsp neutral oil for pan frying
  • 8 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 2 stalks green onion (green and white parts separated)
  • 1 tsp red chili flakes
  • 1/2 cup chicken stock (sub: water & chicken bouillon)
  • 3 tbsp honey
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tbsp dark soy sauce
  • 1 tsp cornstarch
  • Green onion (green part)
  • Sesame seeds

Method
 

  1. Combine all the sauce ingredients (chicken stock, honey, rice vinegar, dark soy sauce, cornstarch) and mix, then set aside.
  2. Dry the chicken thighs with a paper towel, mix the potato starch, flour, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper on a plate, and coat the chicken thighs.
  3. Heat the neutral oil in a frying pan, add the chicken thighs and fry until golden brown on both sides (about 7 minutes per side).
  4. In the same pan, add the minced garlic, white part of the green onion, and red chili flakes, and sauté for 3 minutes. Add the sauce to the pan and cook until thickened.
  5. Add the chicken back to the pan and cook for 5 minutes until coated with the sauce.
  6. Serve with your favorite veggies and steamed rice.
