Scale

- 1 tablespoon coconut aminos
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 1/2 tablespoons avocado oil
- 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1 inch pieces
- 1/2 cup tapioca starch
- 1/2 cup cassava flour
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- avocado oil spray
- scallion, for serving

Honey Garlic Sauce
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/3 cup low sodium chicken broth
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon sriracha
- 3 tablespoons coconut aminos
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- 1 teaspoon arrowroot starch
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper and brush the parchment with 1 tablespoon of avocado oil.
- Add the egg, coconut aminos, and sesame oil, to a mixing bowl. Whisk until well combined and then add the chicken to the bowl. Stir until the chicken is well coated in the egg mixture.
- To another mixing bowl add the tapioca starch, cassava flour, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Whisk together until well combined.
- Use your fingers to dredge the chicken, a few pieces at a time, in the tapioca and cassava flour mixture until well coated. Shake off any excess and then transfer the chicken pieces to the parchment lined and oiled sheet pan. Give the tops of the chicken pieces a liberal spray of avocado oil spray.
- Bake the chicken at 400 degrees for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until it is deep golden brown and crispy.
- While the chicken is cooking make the sauce. Add all of the sauce ingredients to a small sauce pot. Whisk together until everything is well combined. Bring the sauce to a boil and then reduce the heat to a simmer. Let the sauce simmer for 2-4 minutes, or until it has thickened and coats the back of a spoon.
- Add the cooked chicken to a large mixing bowl and then add the sauce. Toss gently until well coated.
- Serve over rice and garnish with sliced scallion and sesame seeds.
