  • Dry the boneless skinless chicken thighs with a paper towel.
  • Mix the potato starch, flour, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper on a large plate.
  • Lightly coat the chicken thighs on both sides.
  • Heat enough neutral oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat to cover the bottom of the pan.
  • Once the oil is hot, add the chicken thighs and fry until golden brown on both sides, about 7 minutes per side.
  • Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside on a plate.
  • In the same pan, add the minced garlic, the white part of the green onion, and red chili flakes and saute for 3 minutes until the garlic is golden brown.
  • Add the sauce to the pan and cook for 1 minute or until the sauce has thickened.
  • Add the chicken back to the pan. Cook for 5 minutes or until the chicken is cooked and covered with the glossy sauce.
  • Serve it with your favorite veggies and steamed rice.

Notes

Make sure everything is prepped and ready before cooking. This comes together quickly. Lightly bread the chicken for a nice light crust. Double the sauce recipe for later use. Alternatively, air fry or bake the chicken if preferred.
