Marinade

Method

Marinade Preparation

  1. 1

    Mix Marinade

    In a bowl, combine minced garlic, soy sauce, honey, olive oil, black pepper, and salt. Whisk together until well mixed.

  2. 2

    Marinate Chicken

    Place chicken thighs in a large resealable bag or a bowl. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring each piece is well coated. Seal or cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight.

Chicken Preparation

  1. 3

    Prepare Chicken

    Remove chicken from the marinade and let it sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes before cooking. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Coating and Frying

  1. 4

    Prepare Coating

    In a shallow dish, mix together the all-purpose flour and cornstarch. Dredge each chicken thigh in the flour mixture, shaking off the excess.

  2. 5

    Heat Oil

    In a large skillet or frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.

  3. 6

    Fry Chicken

    Carefully add the coated chicken thighs to the hot oil, skin side down. Fry for about 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.

  4. 7

    Bake Chicken

    Transfer the fried chicken to a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

Serving

  1. 8

    Serve

    Remove from the oven, sprinkle with chopped parsley, and serve hot with your favorite sides.
