Why does this honey garlic soy chicken taste so good and crispy?

You have to use chicken thighs with skin or any part of chicken with skin. The secret to making it crispy is to dust it with cornstarch or tapioca flour. The cornstarch covers the juices of the chicken and when the chicken skin is fried, the oil combines with the cornstarch and makes the chicken crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside.

3 pieces chicken thigh boneless skin-on
8~10 cloves garlic minced
