Deliciously crispy fried chicken thighs coated in a flavorful marinade, perfect for any meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- ¼ cup white sugar
- ¼ cup mochiko (sweet rice flour)
- ¼ cup cornstarch
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup sliced green onions
- 5 tablespoons soy sauce (such as Aloha™ Shoyu)
- 2 tablespoons sesame seeds (Optional)
- 4 cloves garlic (minced, or more to taste)
- 3 pounds skinless (boneless chicken thighs, cut into strips)
- 2 cups vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together mochiko flour, cornstarch, sugar, salt, eggs, green onions, soy sauce, garlic, and sesame seeds until smooth.
- Cut chicken thighs into strips and add them to the marinade, coating well. Let it sit for at least 10 minutes.
- Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan or wok over medium-high heat until hot.
- Fry chicken strips in batches until golden brown and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes per batch.
- Remove chicken and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.

Notes
- Marinating the chicken for longer enhances the flavor.
- Adjust garlic to taste for a more or less garlicky flavor.
