Ingredients

  • 3.5 chicken thighs (diced; source gives a range of 3–4 thighs)
  • 2 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce (2 tbsp for the chicken and 2 tbsp for the sauce)
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 0.5 tsp red pepper flakes
  • 0.5 tsp black pepper
  • 2 garlic (2 large cloves total, grated; one for the chicken and one for the sauce)
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 tbsp chili crisp
  • 2 tsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 2 tbsp peanut butter
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • oil (for searing the chicken; amount not stated)
  • onion whites (amount not stated; add with the sauce)

Steps

  1. 1

    Dice the chicken thighs and place them in a bowl.

  2. 2

    Add 2 tablespoons soy sauce, onion powder, red pepper flakes, black pepper, the grated garlic clove, baking soda, and cornstarch to the chicken. Mix until the pieces are evenly coated.

  3. 3

    In a separate bowl, combine the remaining 2 tablespoons soy sauce with the chili crisp, rice vinegar, brown sugar, sesame oil, peanut butter, grated garlic clove, and unsalted butter. Whisk until smooth.

  4. 4

    Heat some oil in a pan and sear the chicken for about 3–4 minutes per side.

  5. 5

    Add the onion whites and the prepared sauce mixture to the pan with the chicken.

  6. 6

    Continue cooking until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce coats it; the source does not specify a time for this final cooking stage.

Notes

The description says the recipe takes 20 minutes. The source does not give an amount for the searing oil or onion whites, nor does it specify the final cooking duration or a detailed finishing instruction.
