Cooking Tips

  • Fry the garlic slowly to a pale gold and lift it out before it darkens; burnt garlic turns the whole sauce bitter.
  • Let the fried chicken drain on a rack rather than paper, so the underside stays crisp before saucing.

Ingredient Substitutions

  • Chicken thighs stay juicier than breast and are harder to overcook.
  • Honey can replace the sugar for a rounder sweetness.

What to Serve With It

  • Serve over rice, with the toasted garlic scattered on top at the last moment.

Storage and Reheating

  • Keeps 2 days in the fridge, though the coating softens. Re-crisp in a hot oven, not a microwave.
