Instructions
- Marinade 4 boneless skin on chicken thighs with fish sauce, hot sauce, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder until evenly coated.
- Marinate the chicken for 10 minutes. Mince the garlic during this time so it is ready for the sauce.
- Toss the marinated chicken in cornstarch on both sides until fully coated and shake off the excess.
- Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Add chicken and cook each side for 4 to 5 minutes until well browned.
- Remove the chicken when both sides are browned and crispy and internal temp has reached 165F. Set aside. Keep the same pan.
- Add butter and the minced garlic to the same pan and cook until fragrant.
- Add the fish sauce, Chin-Su hot sauce, sugar, and lime juice to the pan and mix together.
- Let the sauce simmer 1-2 minutes and thicken until glossy.
- Return the chicken to the pan and coat well on both sides with the sauce.
- Transfer to a plate, drizzle with extra sauce, slice, serve over rice, and enjoy!
Notes
- Marinate at least 10 minutes for better flavor.
- Shake off extra cornstarch to prevent clumping and coat the chicken right before frying for best crunch.
- The sauce should look syrupy before tossing.
