Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large bowl, season the chicken thighs with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Let sit for 10 minutes.
  2. Set up a breading station with flour, beaten eggs, and panko breadcrumbs.
  3. Bread the chicken by dredging in flour, dipping in eggs, and rolling in panko. Place on a plate.
  4. In a skillet, melt unsalted butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and grated ginger, sauté for 2-3 minutes.
  5. Stir in sweetened condensed milk, soy sauce, sriracha, and lime juice. Simmer for 2-3 minutes until thickened.

  7. Transfer the crispy chicken to the skillet with the sauce and toss gently to coat.
  8. Serve hot, garnished with green onions, with sides of jasmine rice or stir-fried vegetables.
