Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Chicken thighs (boneless, skinless)
- 3 units Garlic cloves (minced)
- 2 tablespoons Marmite
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 tablespoon Oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
- 3 tablespoons Water
- 3 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 1 unit Egg (beaten)
- 50 grams All-purpose flour
- 500 milliliters Cooking oil (for frying)
- 2 units Spring onions (chopped, for garnish)
Instructions
Cut the chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces and place them in a mixing bowl.
In the bowl, add 2 tablespoons of cornstarch and the beaten egg. Mix well to coat the chicken evenly.
In a separate bowl, combine all-purpose flour and the remaining 1 tablespoon of cornstarch. Dredge the chicken pieces in the flour mixture, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Heat the cooking oil in a deep frying pan or wok over medium-high heat.
Fry the coated chicken pieces in small batches for 5-6 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Remove and place on a paper towel to drain excess oil.
In a separate bowl, mix Marmite, honey, oyster sauce, soy sauce, and water to form the sauce. Set aside.
Heat a clean wok or frying pan over medium heat and add a small amount of oil. Sauté the minced garlic until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Pour the Marmite sauce mixture into the pan and cook until it starts bubbling gently.
Add the fried chicken pieces into the pan and toss well to coat them evenly with the sauce.
Cook for another 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly and clings to the chicken.
Remove the pan from heat. Garnish the Marmite Chicken with chopped spring onions before serving.
Serve hot with steamed rice or noodles.
