Juicy, tender chicken thighs glazed with a savory, sweet sauce made from soy sauce, honey, and garlic. A quick and budget-friendly family favorite.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 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
  • 8 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 stalks green onion, chopped (separating green and white parts)
  • 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

  1. In a bowl, combine chicken stock, honey, rice vinegar, dark soy sauce, and cornstarch. Mix well and set aside.
  2. Pat the boneless skinless chicken thighs dry with a paper towel.
  3. On a large plate, mix the potato starch, all-purpose flour, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Lightly coat the chicken thighs on both sides with this mixture.
  4. Heat enough neutral oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat to cover the bottom. Once hot, add the chicken thighs and fry until golden brown, about 7 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.
  5. In the same pan, add the minced garlic, white parts of the green onion, and red chili flakes. Sauté for about 3 minutes until the garlic turns golden brown.
  6. Pour the sauce mixture into the pan and cook for an additional minute or until it thickens.
  7. Return the chicken to the pan. Cook for another 5 minutes, making sure the chicken is thoroughly cooked and coated with the sauce.
  8. Dish it out with your favorite veggies and steamed rice for a complete meal.

Notes

Let the chicken marinate in the coating for maximum flavor. Avoid overcrowding the pan when frying for a perfect golden crust.
