Ingredients

3 servings

3 chicken thighs (deboned, and cut into halves)
2 cloves garlic (minced)
1/2 teaspoon five-spice powder
1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
1 teaspoon Chinese rice wine (or Japanese cooking sake, optional)
1 teaspoon oyster sauce
1 teaspoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon sugar
salt (to taste)
1/2 tablespoon oil

Steps

Debone the chicken thighs while keeping the skin. You may also use skinless and boneless chicken thighs if preferred.
Marinate the chicken with garlic, five-spice powder, sesame oil, rice wine, oyster sauce, soy sauce, sugar, and salt for 15 minutes, or ideally for 1 hour.
Add oil to the skillet over medium heat. Pan-fry the chicken on both sides until browned and crispy, ensuring the inside is cooked through. Remove from the skillet and serve immediately.
