Crispy Asian-Style Garlic Chicken
Ingredients:
For the Chicken:
1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
1/2 cup cornstarch
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 cup cold water
Vegetable oil (for frying)
For the Sauce:
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon sesame oil
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon grated ginger
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
For Garnish:
2 green onions, chopped
Sesame seeds
Directions:
In a large bowl, combine the cornstarch, all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Gradually add the cold water, stirring until you have a smooth batter.
Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet or wok over medium-high heat. The oil should be about 2 inches deep.
Dip the chicken pieces into the batter, letting any excess drip off. Carefully add the battered chicken to the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes per batch. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, honey, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, and red pepper flakes (if using).
In a large skillet or wok, heat a small amount of oil over medium heat. Add the sauce mixture and cook for 1-2 minutes until it begins to simmer.
Add the crispy chicken to the skillet, tossing to coat evenly with the sauce. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the chicken is heated through and well-coated with the sauce.
Serve the crispy garlic chicken hot, garnished with chopped green onions and sesame seeds.
