Method
Marinade Preparation
- 1
Mix the Marinade
In a large bowl, combine the hot honey, soy sauce, garlic powder, ginger powder, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated.
- 2
Marinate the Chicken
Add the chicken thighs to the marinade. Ensure each piece is coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight for best results.
Coating Preparation
- 3
Prepare the Coating
In a shallow dish, mix together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, salt, and paprika. In another bowl, whisk together the egg and milk until combined.
- 4
Coat the Chicken
Remove the marinated chicken from the refrigerator. Dip each chicken thigh first into the egg mixture and then dredge in the flour mixture, ensuring an even coating.
Frying
- 5
Heat the Oil
In a large frying pan or deep skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). You can test the oil by dropping a small piece of the coating into the oil; it should sizzle immediately.
- 6
Fry the Chicken
Carefully place the coated chicken thighs in the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for approximately 6-7 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F/74°C).
