Instructions
- Dice chicken thighs into 1.5-inch pieces. Place chicken in a large mixing bowl. Set aside.
- In a small bowl, combine Sauce ingredients as listed. Set aside.
- Into your large bowl of diced chicken, add cornstarch. Toss until chicken is evenly coated in starch.
- In a large pan on medium-high heat, heat vegetable oil or any neutral oil. Fry coated chicken until golden brown and crispy, about 5-6 minutes on each side. Remove and transfer to a wire rack or paper-towel lined plate to drain off excess oil.
- On medium-high heat, fry onions until translucent, about 30-45 seconds.
- Pour in sauce to simmer to thicken.
