Equipment

Method
 

  1. On a plate, add the potato starch and spices and lightly dredge the chicken thighs until evenly coated. Tap the excess out.
    ¼ cup potato starch, 1 tablespoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon black pepper, 10 chicken thighs
  2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat with a little oil. Cook chicken in a single layer until golden and crispy on all sides, about 6 minutes. Remove and set aside.
    3 tablespoon avocado oil for frying
  3. In a bowl, grate garlic and ginger. Add soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, mirin, and sesame oil. Mix until combined.
    ½ cup honey, ¼ cup soy sauce, ¼ cup rice vinegar, 2 tablespoon mirin, 2 tablespoon sesame oil, 2 cloves of garlic, 1 inch of ginger
  4. Add it to the pan and let it simmer for 3 minutes until it's thickened
  5. Return chicken to the pan. Toss to coat and cook another 3 minutes until sticky and glossy.
  6. Serve it up. Spoon over rice and garnish with green onions.
    Serve with rice

Notes

  • Don’t skip cornstarch/potato starch,  it’s what makes the glaze stick.
  • Pat your chicken dry before coating. Wet chicken = soggy crust.
  • Do not over-crowd the pan. Fry in batches.
