Method
Preparing the Chicken
- 1
Cut and Season Chicken
Cut the boneless, skinless chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces. In a bowl, combine the chicken pieces with salt and black pepper. Mix well to ensure the chicken is evenly coated.
- 2
Coat with Cornstarch
Add cornstarch to the seasoned chicken and toss until each piece is well-coated. This will help achieve a crispy texture when fried.
- 3
Heat Oil
In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.
- 4
Fry Chicken
In batches, add the coated chicken pieces to the hot oil. Fry until golden brown and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes per batch. Remove the chicken and drain on paper towels.
Making the Sauce
- 5
Combine Ingredients
In a medium saucepan, combine soy sauce, brown sugar, rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, and red pepper flakes. Stir well to combine.
- 6
Cook the Sauce
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a simmer. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the sauce slightly thickens.
- 7
Add Chicken
Once the sauce is ready, add the fried chicken pieces to the saucepan. Toss to coat the chicken evenly in the sauce.
- 8
Garnish
Serve hot, garnished with sliced green onions on top.
