Step 1
Pat chicken dry with paper towels. Mix minced garlic, soy sauce, and brown sugar in a bowl.
Step 2
Toss chicken with garlic marinade, coating all pieces. Let sit 5 minutes while you prep.
Step 3
Spread flour on a plate. Coat each chicken piece in flour, shaking off excess.
Step 4
Heat 0.25 inch oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers, about 2 minutes.
Step 5
Working in batches, fry chicken skin-side down 6–7 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
Step 6
Flip chicken and fry another 4–5 minutes until cooked through and golden on all sides.
Step 7
Meanwhile, bake frozen fries on a sheet pan at 400°F for 12–15 minutes until crispy.
Step 8
Drain fried chicken on paper towels. Serve hot alongside crispy fries.
