Ingredients
- 4 chicken thighs
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon grated ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 green onions, sliced
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
Directions
- In a bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, oyster sauce, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, and black pepper.
- Add the chicken thighs to the marinade and coat them evenly. Let the chicken marinate for at least 15 minutes, or refrigerate overnight for maximum flavor.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade, reserving the marinade for later use.
- Place the chicken thighs skin side down in the skillet and cook for 5-6 minutes, or until browned and crispy. Flip the chicken and cook for an additional 5 minutes.
- Pour the reserved marinade into the skillet and bring it to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened.
- Garnish with sliced green onions and serve hot with steamed rice and your favorite vegetables.
