Ingredients
Instructions
Coat Chicken:
In a bowl, combine flour, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
Dredge each chicken thigh in the mixture until fully coated.
Fry Chicken:
Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Fry chicken thighs 5–7 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy.
Remove and drain on paper towels.
Make Honey Garlic Glaze:
In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium.
Add minced garlic; sauté 30 seconds until fragrant.
Stir in honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sesame oil.
Simmer 2–3 minutes until slightly thickened.
Glaze Chicken:
Return crispy chicken to skillet. Toss to coat evenly in the glaze.
Serve:
Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds if desired.
Serve hot with steamed rice or salad.
Notes
Protein Swap: Use chicken breast, wings, or even shrimp with the same method.
Extra Crispy Tip: Double dredge chicken (dip in flour, egg, then flour again).
Make It Spicy: Add chili flakes, sriracha, or gochujang to the glaze.
Storage: Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet for best texture.
