Servings
Ingredients
- 4 chicken thigh, boneless
- salt, to taste
- pepper, to taste
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- 4 tbsp oil
- to garnish sesame seeds
- to garnish green onion
Soy Glazed Mixture
- 2 1/2 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 tbsp oyster sauce
- 2 1/2 tbsp honey
- 6 garlic cloves
Instructions
- 1In a small bowl combine soy sauce, oyster sauce, honey, and minced garlic. Stir until the honey dissolves and set the mixture aside.
- 2Pat the chicken thighs dry, then season both sides with salt and pepper. Lightly dust each piece with cornstarch, shaking off any excess.
- 3Heat a large skillet over medium‑high heat and add the oil, swirling to coat the surface. Add the chicken and pan‑fry for about 4 minutes on each side, or until the exterior is golden, crisp, and cooked through. Transfer the chicken to a plate and set aside.
- 4Reduce the heat to medium, pour the prepared sauce into the same pan, and let it simmer for roughly 30 seconds, stirring to loosen any browned bits.
- 5Return the chicken to the pan, increase the heat to high, and cook for 1 minute on each side, basting with the glaze so it coats the meat.
- 6Transfer the glazed chicken to a serving platter, garnish with toasted sesame seeds and sliced green onions, and serve immediately.
