Ingredients
-
4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs (or breasts)
-
1/2 cup cornstarch (for crispiness)
-
Salt & pepper
-
2 tbsp oil (for frying)
For the sauce:
-
2 tbsp honey
-
2–3 tbsp Monster Crunch chili crisp
-
1 tbsp soy sauce
-
1 tsp rice vinegar or lemon juice
-
1 clove garlic (minced)
Instructions
1. Prep the chicken
Pat chicken dry, season with salt and pepper, then coat lightly in cornstarch. This creates that irresistible crispy coating.
2. Cook until golden
Heat oil in a pan over medium heat and cook chicken for about 5–6 minutes per side until golden, crispy, and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
3. Make the sauce
In the same pan, lower the heat and add garlic, honey, soy sauce, and vinegar. Stir gently, then add the star of the show—Monster Crunch. Let it warm through and get glossy.
4. Toss and coat
Return chicken to the pan and coat it generously in the sauce. Let it simmer for 1–2 minutes so everything sticks beautifully.
5. Serve
Slice and serve over rice, noodles, or even a fresh salad.
