Chicken

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a bowl, combine the boneless chicken thighs with salt, black pepper, and cornstarch. Mix well to ensure the chicken is evenly coated. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.

Cooking the Chicken

  1. 2

    Fry the Chicken

    In a large pan over medium-high heat, add vegetable oil. Once hot, add the marinated chicken and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.

Preparing the Chili Sauce

  1. 3

    Make the Sauce

    In the same pan, add minced garlic and ginger. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Stir in red chili flakes, soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, and sesame oil. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.

Combining

  1. 4

    Combine Chicken and Sauce

    Return the cooked chicken to the pan with the chili sauce. Toss to coat the chicken evenly in the sauce. Cook for another 2 minutes to heat through.

Garnishing

  1. 5

    Garnish and Serve

    Remove from heat. Sprinkle chopped green onions and sesame seeds over the chili chicken. Serve hot with rice or noodles.
