This is my favorite chicken dish, so I prepare it a lot. I make this when we have guests over as well.

When you deep-fry the chicken, fry slowly at 160℃ (3-4 minutes), and remove from the frying pan once it turns golden brown. Turn up the heat to 180℃, and fry for about a minute to make it crispy.
It's also delicious if you cut the chicken thigh into bite-sized pieces, deep fry like karaage (deep-fried chicken), and marinate the piping hot chicken pieces in the sauce. Recipe by DUFFYchan
