First, dice onion and chili peppers.

Add 1 tablespoon olive oil, chopped onions, chopped chili peppers, and minced garlic to a large skillet over low medium heat. Cook for 5 minutes or until onions have softened, stirring occasionally.

Meanwhile, slice chicken into 1 inch pieces. Add chicken, tapioca flour, Chinese five spice, salt and pepper to a bowl. Toss until chicken is completely coated.

Once onions are soft, remove onions, chilis and minced garlic from pan. Place on a plate nearby.

Add in remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil and coated chicken to skillet. Cook on medium for 7 to 8 minutes or until chicken is cooked through, flipping every couple minutes.

Reduce heat to low. Return onions, chilis and garlic to pan. Cook on low for 2 to 3 minutes.

Finally, remove from heat. Garnish with chopped green onions if desired. Serve!

Tips & Tricks (5)

Double-Dredge Technique for Ultimate Crispiness 🥡
Coat chicken in tapioca flour, let it sit for 2 minutes, then dip in beaten egg and dredge again for an extra-crunchy, restaurant-quality crust that won't become soggy.
Bloom Your Five Spice in Oil 🌟
Toast the Chinese five spice in warm olive oil for 30 seconds before adding to your coating mixture to unlock deeper, more complex flavors that elevate the entire dish.
Pat Chicken Completely Dry 💧
Use paper towels to thoroughly dry the boneless thighs before coating; any surface moisture will prevent proper crisping and cause flour to clump.
Macerate Aromatics Together 🧅
Combine minced garlic, chopped green onions, and both chili peppers 5 minutes before cooking so their oils meld and create a more cohesive, potent flavor base.
Finish with Fresh Pepper Dust ⚫
Grind fresh black pepper directly over the finished dish just before serving to preserve its pungent, spicy notes rather than adding it during cooking where heat diminishes the flavor.
