Prepare the Garlic and Banana Puree: Start by sautéing 24 whole cloves of garlic. Blitz them until smooth. Blitz together whole bananas and syrup.
Make the Sauce: Make a sauce by adding in 1 cup of soy sauce, 1/2 cup of brown sugar, 1/2 cup of honey, and 1/2 cup of rice wine. Add in a tablespoon of sesame oil and stir. Thicken the sauce with 1 tbsp of cornstarch slurry.
Combine Sauce with Puree: Combine the sauce with the garlic and banana puree.
Prepare the Chicken: Cut up 2 lbs of boneless skin-on chicken thighs.
Prepare the Flour Mixture: Combine 2 and 1/2 cups of AP flour, 1/2 cup of cornstarch, 1 tbsp of salt, 1 tbsp of MSG, 2 tsps of garlic powder, 2 tsps of onion powder, 1 and 1/2 tsps of baking powder, 1 tsp of turmeric, 1 tsp of curry powder, and 1 tsp of hot paprika. Add enough water to make the batter pretty thin.
Fry the Chicken: Dump the chicken in the batter. Fry at 350°F for about 5 to 7 minutes.
Reduce the Sauce: Take the sauce and put that into a wok at high heat to reduce.
Combine Chicken with Sauce: Dump in about half of the fried chicken into the sauce.
Serve: Put the sauced chicken on a plate, sprinkle with a little bit of dried parsley for garnish.
