Instructions
- Dice chicken thighs into 1.5-inch-wide pieces. Then transfer chicken into a large bowl.
- To your large bowl of diced chicken, add buttermilk. Let chicken tenderize in buttermilk for 10-12 minutes.
- Meanwhile in a small bowl, combine Sauce ingredients. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, combine cornstarch, salt, garlic powder and black pepper.
- Dredge each piece of chicken into the corn starch mixture until coated. Shake off any excess. Transfer coated chicken to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- In a large pan (about 10-inches wide) on medium heat, add vegetable oil or any neutral cooking oil. Once oil is hot, fry coated chicken in 2-3 batches until golden and crispy on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side. Do not overcrowd or overcook.
- Then transfer cooked chicken to a wire rack or a paper towel-lined plate to remove excess oil.
- Transfer chicken to a large bowl. Pour sauce over top. Toss to mix. Finally garnish with green onions. Enjoy while hot and crispy!
