Ingredients

• 2 pounds Boneless chicken thighs
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 2 tablespoons Gluten-free soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
• 1 cup Cornstarch
• 1 cup Potato starch
• 4 cups Vegetable oil
• 3 tablespoons Gluten-free gochujang
• 3 tablespoons Honey
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds
• 2 tablespoons Green onions, finely chopped

Directions

Step 1

Cut the boneless chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces. In a bowl, combine the chicken pieces with salt, ground black pepper, garlic powder, gluten-free soy sauce, and rice vinegar. Cover and marinate for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine cornstarch and potato starch. Remove the chicken pieces from the marinade and dredge each piece in the starch mixture until thoroughly coated. Set aside on a clean plate.

Step 3

Heat vegetable oil in a large Dutch oven or deep fryer to 350°F (175°C). Fry the chicken in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pot, until the chicken is cooked through and golden brown, about 5-7 minutes per batch.

Step 4

Remove the chicken and let it rest on a wire rack or paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Step 5

In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine gluten-free gochujang, honey, and sesame oil. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the mixture has thickened slightly and bubbles form on the edges, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 6

Place the fried chicken into a large mixing bowl. Pour the gochujang sauce over the chicken and toss until each piece is well coated.

Step 7

Garnish the coated chicken with sesame seeds and green onions before serving. Enjoy hot!
