Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 3/4 cup corn starch
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup soy sauce
  • 1/2 cup diced green onions
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons chili garlic sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 2 teaspoons sesame oil
  • Vegetable oil for frying

Instructions

  1. Slice the chicken into small, bite-sized pieces for even cooking.
  2. Combine corn starch, garlic powder, and salt in a small bowl to create the coating.
  3. Coat the chicken pieces with the dry mixture and refrigerate for at least an hour.
  4. Heat about 3/4 inch of vegetable oil in a heavy-bottomed pan to around 175 degrees Fahrenheit.
  5. Fry the coated chicken pieces in batches for 8-10 minutes until golden brown, then remove and place on paper towels to drain.
  6. Mix soy sauce, green onions, brown sugar, chili garlic sauce, sesame seeds, minced garlic, honey, and sesame oil in a large bowl for the sauce.
  7. Toss the fried chicken in the Hawaiian sauce until evenly coated.
  8. Serve the chicken garnished with additional sesame seeds and green onions, optionally over rice.

Notes

Let the chicken marinate in the coating longer than an hour for deeper flavor. Adjust the chili garlic sauce for desired spice level.
