This dish takes me back to lively weeknight dinners where bold flavors brought everyone to the table—no matter how busy the day. With crispy golden chicken, a sticky-savory glaze, and a gentle kick of garlic and chili, this soy garlic chicken is a fusion of comfort and crave-worthy flavor. It’s easy, fast, and perfect for those who love a little flair on their fork.

Ingredients

Scale

Chicken:

1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs

3 tbsp potato starch

3 tbsp all-purpose flour

1 tsp garlic powder

½ tsp salt

½ tsp black pepper

3 tbsp neutral oil (for pan frying)

8 garlic cloves, minced

2 stalks green onion (white and green parts separated)

1 tsp red chili flakes

Sauce:

½ cup chicken stock (or water + bouillon)

3 tbsp honey

1 tbsp rice vinegar

1 tbsp dark soy sauce

1 tsp cornstarch

Garnish:

Green onion (green part), sliced

Instructions

In a bowl, coat chicken thighs with flour, starch, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.

Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Fry chicken until golden and cooked through, about 6–8 minutes per side. Set aside.

In the same skillet, sauté garlic, chili flakes, and white part of green onions for 1–2 minutes.

Stir in chicken stock, honey, vinegar, and soy sauce. Mix cornstarch with a bit of water, then add to the pan. Simmer until thickened.
