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 of garlic (minced)
- 2 stalks green onion (green and white parts separated)
- 1 tsp red chili flakes
- 1/2 cup chicken stock (or substitute with water and chicken bouillon)
- 3 tbsp honey
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 tbsp dark soy sauce
- 1 tsp cornstarch
- Green onion (green part) for garnish
- Sesame seeds for garnish
Instructions
- Combine all sauce ingredients in a bowl, mix well, and set aside.
- Dry the chicken thighs with a paper towel and mix potato starch, flour, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper on a plate. Lightly coat chicken with the mixture.
- Heat enough oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat to cover the bottom. Fry the chicken thighs until golden brown, about 7 minutes per side, then set aside.
- Add minced garlic, the white part of green onion, and red chili flakes to the pan. Sauté for 3 minutes until golden brown.
- Add the sauce to the pan and cook for 1 minute until it thickens.
- Return the chicken to the pan and cook for an additional 5 minutes or until covered in the glossy sauce.
- Serve hot, garnished with sliced green onions and sesame seeds.
Notes
For extra flavor, consider marinating the chicken thighs in the sauce for 30 minutes before cooking. For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free soy sauce and flour alternatives.
