Step 1
Pat chicken dry and season with salt and pepper. Coat lightly in flour, shaking off excess.
Step 2
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmer appears, about 2 minutes.
Step 3
Pan-fry chicken 5–6 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer to a plate.
Step 4
In the same skillet, stir garlic 30 seconds until fragrant, then add soy sauce, vinegar, sambal, and sugar.
Step 5
Simmer 2 minutes until sauce thickens slightly and smells tangy-sweet. Return chicken to coat in glaze.
Step 6
Toss chicken until edges caramelize and glaze clings, about 1 minute. Serve hot.
