# Steps to Follow:
01 -
Combine chicken stock, honey, rice vinegar, dark soy sauce, and cornstarch in a bowl. Mix well and set aside.
02 -
Pat chicken thighs dry with a paper towel. In a large plate, mix potato starch, all-purpose flour, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Lightly coat chicken thighs on both sides with the mixture.
03 -
Heat neutral oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat, enough to cover the bottom of the pan. Once hot, add chicken thighs and fry for about 7 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove chicken from the pan and set aside on a plate.
04 -
In the same pan, add minced garlic, white parts of the green onion, and red chili flakes. Sauté for 3 minutes or until garlic is golden brown.
05 -
Add prepared sauce mixture to the pan and cook for 1 minute until thickened. Add the chicken back to the pan and cook for 5 minutes until fully cooked and coated with the glossy sauce.
06 -
Serve the chicken with steamed rice and your favorite vegetables. Garnish with green onion slices and sesame seeds.
# Extra Tips:
01 -
Ensure all ingredients are prepped before starting the cooking process. This quick recipe comes together easily when ready.
02 -
The chicken is lightly breaded to create a crisp, delicate crust without being overly thick.
03 -
Consider doubling the sauce recipe. The sauce stores well in the refrigerator and can be reused throughout the week.
