Step 1
Season chicken with salt and pepper. Dredge each piece in flour, shaking off excess.
Step 2
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high until a pinch of flour sizzles immediately.
Step 3
Fry chicken 6–7 minutes per side without moving until deep golden brown. Transfer to a plate.
Step 4
Drain all but 2 tbsp oil from the skillet. Add garlic and cook 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 5
Pour soy sauce and sugar into the skillet. Stir constantly for 1 minute until glossy and caramelized.
Step 6
Return chicken to the skillet and toss to coat completely. Serve hot with the glaze dripping.
