Description
Soy Garlic Chicken Thighs are 10/10 delicious and super easy to make. Everything can be done in one pan. Lightly bread with potato starch, pan fry, and finish with a glossy, savory soy garlic glaze.

- Step: Lightly coat the chicken thighs on both sides.
- Step: Heat neutral oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat.
- Step: Fry chicken thighs until golden brown, about 7 minutes per side, then remove and set aside.
- Step: In the same pan, sauté minced garlic, white parts of green onion, and red chili flakes for 3 minutes until garlic is golden brown.

Notes
Ensure all ingredients are prepped before cooking as the process moves quickly. Lightly bread the chicken to create a thin, crispy crust rather than a thick coating. The sauce recipe can be doubled for use throughout the week. For a healthier version, air fry or bake the chicken before adding it to the sauce.
