Ingredients

Main Ingredients

• 17 oz chicken thigh
• 0.50 red onion or any vegetable
• 0.50 white onion
• 3 clove garlic
• 3 tbsp cornstarch
• 2 tbsp oil

Marinade

• 1 tbsp Kikkoman® Oyster Sauce (

  Amazon​

  )
• 1 tbsp Kikkoman® Soy Sauce (

  Amazon

  )
• 1 tbsp cooking wine (

  Shaoxing or any other kind of cooking wine

  )
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 tsp sugar
• 0.50 tsp white pepper
• 2 tbsp cornstarch
• 0.50 oz ginger

Miscellaneous

• 1 tbsp cooking wine
• 0.50 tsp garlic salt

Step 1 - Prepare marinade

Combine oyster sauce (1 tbsp), light soy sauce (1 tbsp), cooking wine (1 tbsp), salt (1 tsp), sugar (1 tsp), white pepper (0.50 tsp), and cornstarch (2 tbsp) in a small bowl.

Mince the ginger (0.50 oz) and add it to the bowl. Stir to combine.

Step 2 - Cut aromatics

Cut the white onion (0.50 ) and the red onion (0.50 ) into slices.

Mince the garlic (3 clove).

Step 3 - Debone & trim chicken

Optionally, debone the chicken (17 oz), and trim the skin and excess fat. To remove the bone, angle your knife towards it and slice down both sides. When the bone is more exposed, pull it up vertically and slice around it to release it from the flesh.

Slice through the thicker parts of the flesh for even cooking.

Step 4 - Marinate chicken

Dry each piece of chicken with a paper towel, then place them into the bowl of marinade. Coat each piece thoroughly, then set aside for about 10 minutes.

When they’ve finished marinating, spread an even layer of cornstarch (3 tbsp) on a plate, and thoroughly coat the thighs with a thin layer of cornstarch. Gently shake off excess cornstarch.

Step 5 - Pan-fry chicken

Heat a skillet or flat-bottomed wok on high heat. Once it’s hot, add oil (2 tbsp).

When the oil’s shimmering, turn the heat to medium-low, and place each piece of the chicken skin-side down. Cook until golden brown, or about 2-3 minutes.

Flip the chicken over and cook the other side until it’s also golden brown, or about 5-6 minutes.

When both sides are beautifully golden brown, flip all the pieces back to the skin side and cook for another 1-2 minutes to make it crispy.

Step 6 - Add aromatics & final seasoning

Make some room by pushing the chicken to the sides of the pan. Add the minced garlic to the now-vacated middle of the pan, and cook until fragrant, or 10 seconds.

Add the sliced onion and spread it out in the pan as you cook until that’s also fragrant, or 20 seconds.

Pour cooking wine (1 tbsp) into the pan and immediately cover with the lid.

Turn the heat to high to reduce the sauce down. Cook covered like this for 30-40 seconds.

Uncover the pan and sprinkle garlic salt (0.50 tsp) over the chicken for a final touch of seasoning. Give everything a quick mix to distribute. Plate and enjoy!

pickled red onion

Ingredients

• 2 small red onions
• 2 cups white vinegar
• 2 cups water
• 1/3 cup cane sugar
• 2 tablespoons sea salt

• Thinly slice the onions (it's helpful to use a mandoline), and divide the onions between 2 (16-ounce) jars or 3 (10-ounce) jars. Place the garlic and peppercorns in each jar, if using
• Heat the vinegar, water, sugar, and salt in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Stir until the sugar and salt dissolve, about 1 minute. Let cool and pour over the onions. Set aside to cool to room temperature, then store the onions in the fridge.
• Your pickled onions will be ready to eat once they're bright pink and tender - about 1 hour for very thinly sliced onions, or overnight for thicker sliced onions. They will keep in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
