Materials

2 Chicken Thigh boneless with skin
3 tbsp of Corn Starch
3.5 tbsp of Soy Sauce
2.5 tbsp of Honey
1.5 tbsp of Minced Garlic
0.5 tbsp of Five Spice Powder
Salt & Pepper

Instructions

Season the chicken thigh with salt and pepper on both sides.
Pat dry the chicken with a paper towel and coat the chicken with corn starch on both sides. Shake off any excess corn starch before pan-frying.
In a pan, add oil and turn the heat to medium-high. Once the pan is hot, add in the chicken thigh skin side facing down. Pan fry for 7 minutes, skin side facing down, flip, and cook for another 5 minutes.
Remove the chicken and set it aside.
Mix soy sauce, minced garlic, five-spice powder, and honey in a bowl.
Drizzle the sauce into the same pan that the chicken was cooked and simmer for 1 minute.
Add back in the chicken and cook the chicken on high heat while drizzling the sauce all over the chicken for 1 minute.

Notes

PRO-TIP, after you are done cooking the chicken, use the leftover oil and seasoning to pan-fry your vegetables.
