Steps
In a large bowl, combine the chicken thighs with the white parts of the green onions, 1 tablespoon minced garlic, Shaoxing wine, soy sauce, chicken bouillon powder, oyster sauce, 1 tablespoon honey, a dash of white pepper, and a splash of cooking oil.
Mix all the seasonings thoroughly with the chicken and let it marinate for 15 minutes.
In a separate shallow dish, whisk together 1 cup potato starch, 2 tablespoons corn starch, and salt.
Coat both sides of each piece of marinated chicken in the starch mixture, dusting off any excess.
Place the coated chicken in the fridge to set for 15-20 minutes.
Heat a pan of oil to 350°F (180 °C) (175°C (350 °F)).
Fry the chicken pieces, turning to ensure both sides are evenly browned and crispy. Remove the chicken and set aside.
In a clean pan, combine equal parts butter, minced garlic, and honey.
Bring the mixture to a low simmer, then add the fried chicken back into the pan.
Coat both sides of the chicken equally in the glaze and let it cook for 2-3 minutes.
Remove the chicken from the pan and sprinkle the reserved green parts of the green onions on top.
Serve immediately with white rice.
Notes
The recipe calls for 'equal parts' butter, garlic, and honey for the glaze; 2 tablespoons of each is a standard estimation for this volume of chicken. Resting the breaded chicken in the fridge helps the coating adhere better during frying.
