Remove the bones from 2 pieces of chicken thighs and cut them into small pieces, coat with all-purpose flour.
Prepare a double coating technique by dipping the chicken in all-purpose flour again before frying until golden brown and crispy.
In a separate pan, stir-fry 4 cloves of garlic, 1 inch of ginger, and 3 bird's eye chilies for flavor.
Add 4 tablespoons Sichuan pepper sauce Kimball, 4 tablespoons tomato sauce Kimball, 1 tablespoon oyster sauce Kimball, 1/2 tablespoon sugar, 1/2 lime juice, 1/2 tablespoon cornstarch, and 1 cup of water to the pan. Simmer until the sauce thickens.
Add a pinch of star anise for additional flavor.
Combine the prepared sauce with the fried chicken in the same pan, mix well until the chicken is coated evenly with the sauce.
Garnish and serve with steamed white rice.
