Ingredients

4 servings
  • 1½ lbs chicken thighs
  • 2½ tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon five-spice powder
  • 1 tablespoon Chinese rice wine (or Japanese cooking sake)
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1½ tablespoons oil
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • white sesame
  • chopped scallion

Steps

  1. Debone the chicken thighs following the instructions here. Mix the soy sauce, five-spice powder, wine, sesame oil, and sugar together, whisking until the sugar is completely dissolved. Add the sauce mixture to the chicken and stir to coat thoroughly.

  2. Heat a skillet over low to medium heat and add the oil. Once the oil is hot, add the garlic and sauté until it turns light brown. Add the chicken along with the sauce to the skillet, and cook slowly for about 8 to 10 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and the sauce has reduced.

  3. Remove the chicken from the skillet, garnish with white sesame seeds and scallions, and serve hot with steamed rice.
