Ingredients- 5 chicken thighs (about 300-400g)
- 1/2 medium onion, thinly sliced
- Olive oil, for cooking
- 1/2 Tbsp oyster sauce
- Pinch of black pepper
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare the chicken thighs. We’ll be using 5 pieces today.
Step 2
If your chicken thighs are frozen, they need to be thawed. Place them in the microwave for about 2-3 minutes. This will gently thaw them, keeping them moist. Be careful not to overheat.
Step 3
While the chicken thaws, prepare half an onion by slicing it into thick strips. The sweetness of the onion will complement the chicken beautifully and add depth of flavor.
Step 4
Now, heat a pan over medium heat. Add a generous amount of olive oil. Once shimmering, add the sliced onions and the thawed chicken thighs to the pan.
Step 5
Season the chicken thighs with a pinch of black pepper to remove any gamey odor. Stir-fry the onions and chicken over medium heat until the onions become translucent and the chicken turns opaque. Continue cooking until the chicken is mostly cooked through.
Step 6
Once the chicken thighs are mostly cooked and have turned white on the outside, use kitchen scissors to cut them into bite-sized pieces. This ensures the sauce coats them well and makes them easier to eat.
Step 7
When the chicken thighs are fully cooked, add the 1/2 tablespoon of oyster sauce. Turn the heat up to high and stir-fry quickly for about 10 seconds. The key is to stir-fry rapidly so the savory oyster sauce adheres well to the chicken!
Step 8
Your delicious Stir-Fried Chicken Thigh with Onions is ready! Enjoy this delightful meal!
