Ingredients
  

Garlic Sauce

  • ⅓ cup brown sugar
  • 4 teaspoon sugar
  • ⅓ cup soy sauce
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 3 garlic cloves minced

Chicken

  • oil for frying
  • 1 ½ lb boneless, skin on chicken thighs
  • ¾ cup flour
  • ¼ cup furikake seasoning
  • 1 scallion thinly sliced
  • white rice to serve

Instructions
 

  • In a saucepot on medium heat, mix sauce ingredients until sugar is dissolved. Set aside.
  • Heat a pan with half an inch of oil on medium high heat. The oil is ready when you stick a wooden spoon or chopstick on the bottom of the pan and bubbles form. Cut the chicken into bite sized pieces and add to a mixing bowl. Add flour and coat the chicken evenly. Fry the chicken for 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy. Drain the chicken on a wire rack.
  • In a mixing bowl, add chicken and garlic sauce and toss to coat. Serve with steamed white rice, sprinkle furikake seasoning and scallions on the chicken. Drizzle extra sauce on the chicken and rice. Happy nomming!

Notes

  • The chicken is best served immediately to ensure crispiness. If you can't eat all the chicken, I recommend coating a smaller amount of chicken in flour and frying. Store the chicken thighs in the fridge for up to two days, coat and fry the amount you will eat then toss with the sauce.
  • If you decide to store leftover garlic furikake chicken, it can be stored in the fridge for up to four days. Reheat in the oven or air fryer.
  • Nutrition estimate does not include oil absorbed during frying and furikake seasoning.
