Method

  1. Heat the oven to 220 C. Toss the chicken thighs with salt, white pepper, egg and cornstarch until coated.
  2. Spread on a tray with vegetable oil and bake 18 to 22 minutes until golden, turning once.
  3. Meanwhile simmer soy sauce, rice vinegar, sugar, garlic, ginger, dried chilies and water. Stir in a little more cornstarch mixed with water until the sauce turns glossy.
  4. Toss the baked chicken in the sauce. Scatter spring onion and serve.

Shopping tip

Dried chilies and soy are easy. Rice vinegar is in the world-food aisle. Baking is cleaner than a pot of oil.
