Categories: Poultry, Dairy, Vegetables, Herbs, Rice
     Yield: 6 Servings

 1 1/2 lb Chicken thighs; boned,
          - skinned, in 1" cubes
     1 c  Buttermilk
     2    Green onions
     1 tb Sesame oil
    15 cl Garlic
     1    Fresh ginger (2");
          - peeled, sliced
     1 c  Chinese cooking wine or
          - sherry
     6 tb Brown sugar
     6 tb Soy sauce
          Oil; for deep-fat frying
     2 c  A-P flour
     1 tb Corn starch
     1 tb Water
     1 c  Fresh Thai basil leaves
          Cooked rice; hot

 Place chicken and buttermilk in a shallow dish, turning once to
 coat. Refrigerate 1 hour or overnight. Drain chicken, discarding
 buttermilk. Meanwhile, thinly slice green part of onions; reserve
 for garnish. Slice white part into 1/4" pieces.

 In a large skillet, heat sesame oil over medium-high heat. Add
 white part of green onions, garlic, and ginger; stir-fry until
 fragrant and slightly browned, 3 to 4 minutes. Add wine, brown
 sugar, and soy sauce, stirring until sugar dissolves. Reduce heat;
 simmer 10 to 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.

 In a deep fryer or electric skillet, heat 2" oil to 375°F/190°C.
 Place flour in a shallow dish. Add chicken, a few pieces at a time,
 and toss to coat; shake off excess. Fry chicken, a few pieces at a
 time, until golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Drain on paper towels.

 In a small bowl, combine corn starch and water. Remove ginger
 slices and garlic cloves from sauce; slowly stir in corn starch
 mixture. Simmer, stirring constantly, until thickened, 1 to
 2 minutes.

 Add chicken and basil; stir to coat. Remove from heat; garnish with
 green onions. Serve with rice.
