For the sweet and savory sauce: Combine the brown sugar, white sugar, soy sauce and a sprinkle of black pepper in a braising pan with 4 inch sides. Whisk to dissolve, and then bring to a boil over high heat. Boil for 2 minutes. Let cool to room temperature, then whisk in the garlic.
For the fried chicken: Preheat the frying oil in a commercial deep fryer to 350 degrees F.
Dust the chicken thighs in the flour-garlic powder mixture. Place in the deep fryer until crispy golden brown, 12 to 15 minutes. Let the fried chicken drain in the deep fryer basket for 2 to 3 minutes.
Submerge the fried chicken in the sweet and savory sauce for 2 minutes. Pull the chicken out of the sauce and cut in half.
Served the fried chicken with steamed white rice and tuna macaroni salad on a bed of fresh avocado. Garnish with green onions, homemade garlic aioli and a confetti of furikake. Serve with our famous Hawaiian tangy chili peppa watah in a ramekin.

Hawaiian Tangy Chili Peppa Watah:
Combine the vinegar, chili sauce, sriracha, garlic, salt and chile peppers in a large bowl. Use an immersion blender to incorporate the ingredients for 3 minutes. Chill for better results.
