1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
3 tbsp. corn flour
Oil for frying

For the sauce:

Instructions:

Marinate the chicken pieces with marination ingredients and let it rest for 30 minutes. Fry until golden brown.

In the pan, add the minced garlic in oil and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.

Add all the sauce ingredients into the pan and let it simmer for a couple of minutes until the sauce slightly thickens.
