Spicy Garlic Chicken (20 MINUTES!)

Spicy Garlic Chicken

Back with another 20-minute recipe, SPICY GARLIC CHICKEN.

Spicy Garlic Chicken is super easy to make at home, and it is seriously finger-licking good.

Combining two of my most viral recipe, Ginger Glazed Chicken and Spicy Honey Garlic Chicken, to make this delicious, easy, and quick 20-minute recipe.

EXTRA CRISPY chicken coated in a spicy, sweet, savory garlic sauce, this recipe will be a classic dish in your household!

If you don’t like spicy food, try making my HONEY GARLIC CHICKEN, which also takes only 20 minutes and is super delicious. 

sauce

The secret homemade sauce is what makes this Spicy Garlic Chicken super addicting.

The sweetness of the honey makes a perfect glaze to balance out the saltiness of the soy sauce, and adding some Korean Chilli Paste gives the dish the perfect kick!

If you are serving it to kids, you can replace the Korean chili paste with 2 tbsp of ketchup and 1 tbsp of soy sauce for a sweet and tangy garlic glaze instead. 

crispy chicken

We will be pan-frying the chicken first for the crispy skin on Spicy Garlic Chicken.

That way, the chicken oil will be infused with the sauce giving it an extra layer of flavor. I am using cornstarch today to keep the chicken gluten-free.

Other gluten-free flours you can use are tapioca starch and rice flour.

The cornstarch will help lightly coat the protect the chicken, ensuring the inside stays nice and crispy! All you need is a thin layer, dust off any excess, and that’s it! 

Spicy Garlic Chicken

Nothing is better than Spicy Garlic Chicken for a delicious weeknight dinner.

Easy, affordable, and made with accessible ingredients that you can find at your local supermarket. My secret to juicy chicken is always to use boneless chicken thighs with the skin on.

Watch my video on YouTube, where I share my step-by-step instructions on de-bone a chicken thigh in less than 2 minutes!

About Me
Hi! I am Tiffy and I am a HUGE foodie. I love to cook, I love to eat, and I love sharing what I love with the world.
I was born in Taiwan, a country with some of the best street food in the world. When I think back to my childhood, I remember all the fantastic restaurants my dad brought me to when I was young. You see, my family is also huge foodies; we use to wander around night markets every weekend, skip the last period in class to try out new restaurants, and every summer, we would travel around Taiwan exploring all the new “must try” dishes around the country.
