Notes
You can use chicken wings or drumettes in place of chicken thighs for this recipe.
For a crispier texture, you can double-fry the chicken by frying it once, letting it cool, and then frying it again.
Potato starch is the key ingredient for achieving the crispy texture of the chicken. You can find it in most Asian grocery stores or online.
Adjust the spiciness of the sauce to your liking by adding more or less chili flakes.
You can make the sauce ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator for up to a week.
Garnish the dish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions for a pop of color and extra flavor.
Be sure to dry the chicken thoroughly before marinating and coating it to ensure maximum crispiness.
