Directions

Step 1

Cut the chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces and place them in a bowl.

In a small bowl, mix the oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, remaining 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, chicken stock, sesame oil, salt, and black pepper. Stir until combined.

Step 9

Return the cooked chicken to the wok and pour the sauce mixture over the chicken and vegetables.
