• 1 tsp Black Pepper (freshly ground)
• 1 tsp Salt (kosher or sea salt)
• 1 cup All-Purpose Flour (for breading)
• 1 tsp Garlic Powder
• 2 Eggs (large, beaten)
• 1/2 cup Cooking Oil (vegetable or canola oil, for frying)

Instructions

1. Prepare the Yogurt Marinade

   In a mixing bowl combine 1/2 cup plain yogurt, 2 tsp chili powder, 1 tsp black pepper, and 1 tsp salt. Whisk until smooth.

   Time: PT5M

2. Marinate the Chicken

   Add 8 chicken thighs to the yogurt mixture, turning to coat each piece evenly. Cover and let sit at room temperature for 10 minutes, then refrigerate for at least 15 minutes (or up to 2 hours for deeper flavor).

   Time: PT15M

3. Prepare the Breading Station

   In a shallow dish, mix 1 cup all‑purpose flour, 1 tsp chili powder, and 1 tsp garlic powder. In a separate bowl, beat 2 eggs.

   Time: PT3M

4. Bread the Chicken

   Remove each thigh from the yogurt, letting excess drip off. Dredge in the seasoned flour, dip in beaten egg, then back into the flour for a double coating. Place coated thighs on a plate.

   Time: PT5M

5. Heat the Oil

   Add 1/2 cup cooking oil to a frying pan and heat over medium‑high heat until it reaches about 350°F (175°C).

   Time: PT3M

   Temperature: 350°F

6. Fry the Chicken

   Carefully place the breaded thighs in the hot oil. Fry 4‑5 minutes per side, or until the crust is deep golden and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Transfer to a paper‑towel‑lined plate to drain.

   Time: PT10M

   Temperature: 350°F

7. Make the Sweet‑Spicy Sauce

   While the chicken rests, combine 3 tbsp tomato sauce, 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tsp sugar, 1 tbsp chili sauce, 1 tbsp cooking oil, and 2 minced garlic cloves in a small saucepan. Simmer over low heat for 3‑4 minutes, stirring constantly.

   Time: PT5M
