Instructions
- 1. In a bowl, combine chicken stock, honey, rice vinegar, dark soy sauce, and cornstarch. Mix well and set aside.
- 2. Dry the chicken thighs using a paper towel. Mix potato starch, flour, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper on a large plate. Lightly coat both sides of the chicken thighs with the mixture.
- 3. Heat enough neutral oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat to cover the bottom. Add chicken thighs and fry for about 7 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.
- 4. In the same pan, add minced garlic, the white part of green onion, and red chili flakes. Sauté for about 3 minutes until garlic turns golden brown. Pour the sauce into the pan and cook for 1 minute or until it thickens.
- 5. Add the chicken back to the pan. Cook for 5 more minutes until chicken is completely cooked and well-coated with the glossy sauce.
- 6. Serve hot, garnished with chopped green onion and sesame seeds, with steamed rice and your choice of vegetables.
