  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 ½ cups water
  • 6 boneless, skinless chicken thighs (about 1 ½ pounds) cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tablespoons grated fresh ginger
  • ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes

  • Before You Begin
  • In step 4, the fried chicken pieces can be held in a 200-degree oven for up to 30 minutes before being added to the sauce (if held any longer, they will lose their crispness). If the sauce is too thick in step 5, whisk in 1 tablespoon of water before adding the crispy chicken.
