Ingredients

• 500 grams Boneless, skinless chicken thighs
• 4 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons Oyster sauce
• 1 tablespoon Dark soy sauce
• 2 teaspoons Cornstarch
• 3 tablespoons Water
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
• 2 tablespoons Cooking oil (vegetable or canola)
• 4 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon Ginger, minced
• 2 stalks Scallions, chopped (optional garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Cut the chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces and set them aside.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix together soy sauce, oyster sauce, dark soy sauce, and cornstarch. Stir until smooth. Add 3 tablespoons of water to the sauce mixture and stir again. Set this sauce aside.

Step 3

In a large skillet or wok, heat 2 tablespoons of cooking oil over medium-high heat.

Step 4

Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic and ginger. Stir-fry for about 30 seconds or until fragrant.

Step 5

Add the chicken pieces to the skillet. Stir-fry for 5–7 minutes or until the chicken is browned and cooked through.

Step 6

Pour the prepared sauce mixture over the chicken in the skillet. Stir well to coat all the chicken pieces evenly in the sauce.

Step 7

Lower the heat to medium and let the sauce simmer for about 2–3 minutes until it thickens and coats the chicken.

Step 8

Drizzle 1 teaspoon of sesame oil over the chicken and give it a final stir.

Step 9

Remove the skillet from heat and transfer the Chinese Chicken to a serving dish.

Step 10

Garnish with chopped scallions if desired and serve hot with steamed white rice or noodles.
