Introduction
This exquisite garlic butter chicken features a double dose of garlic—crispy garlic chips and freshly grated garlic—tossed in a savory, sweet, and rich garlic-butter glaze. By coating the chicken in potato starch and searing it skin-side down until crispy, the meat stays juicy and the thick sauce clings perfectly, making this dish addictive for both rice and drinks.
Step 1
Thinly slice 1.5 cloves of garlic (for the chips) and set aside the remaining half-clove to grate for the sauce.
Step 2
Cut the chicken thigh into bite-sized pieces.
Step 3
Lightly sprinkle salt and pepper over the chicken and thoroughly rub in 1.5 tablespoons of potato starch to create a thin coating.
Step 4
In a container, combine 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 1 teaspoon oyster sauce, 1 tablespoon mirin, 1 tablespoon sake, 1/2 clove of grated garlic, 1 teaspoon honey, and 4 shakes of Ajinomoto to make the garlic butter sauce.
Step 5
Add 1.5 teaspoons of oil to a frying pan, add the sliced garlic, and cook slowly over low heat. Once golden brown, remove the garlic chips from the pan.
Ingredients List
Important Notes
Coating the chicken with potato starch keeps the meat tender and ensures the sauce clings well. ✨
When making garlic chips, use low heat to cook them slowly as they burn easily. 💡
When cooking the chicken, drag the skin side across the oil in the pan before arranging it; this ensures the entire skin crisps up evenly. 🍳
Using honey gives the sauce a deep richness and mellowness (you can substitute with 1 teaspoon of sugar if unavailable, but honey is recommended. ※Do not feed to infants under 1 year old). ⚠️
Chicken breast can also be used following the same steps. 👥
