Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 11

500g skinless, boneless chicken thighs
1 tsp flaky sea salt

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh, boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs.
  • To make sure the chicken is evenly coated in the marinade, use a large bowl or zip-top bag.
  • If you don't have time to marinate the chicken for the full 30 minutes, you can still make this recipe. Just reduce the marinating time to 15 minutes.
  • When pan-frying the chicken, be sure to use a large skillet over medium-high heat. This will help the chicken cook evenly and prevent it from sticking to the pan.
  • If you don't have a bamboo skewer, you can use a toothpick to test the chicken for doneness.

The chicken is marinated in a flavorful mixture of soy sauce, rice wine, ginger, garlic, and black pepper, then pan-fried until crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
