How to Make Soysauce Chicken

Ingredients:

Half of the chicken
2.5 tbsp soy sauce
2.5 tbsp dark soy sauce
2 tbsp honey
1 tbsp oyster sauce
1 tsp sugar
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 tbsp five-spice powder
1/2 tsp white pepper
Sesame seeds (optional)

Directions:

Marinate the chicken: In a bowl, mix the soy sauce, dark soy sauce, oyster sauce, honey, sugar, minced garlic, five-spice powder, and white pepper. Add the chicken thighs and coat them well in this marinade. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes, or overnight for the best flavor.
Cook the chicken:
- Air fryer method: Place the chicken skin side up in the air fryer. Cook at 380°F (190°C) for 20 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
- Oven method: Lay the chicken skin side up on a baking sheet. Bake at 420°F (220°C) for 25 minutes, or until cooked through.
- Stovetop method: Heat oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken thighs skin side down for 2 minutes. Flip and sear for another 2 minutes. Pour in the marinade and reduce the heat to low-medium. Cover and simmer for 7 minutes. Flip the chicken and simmer for another 7 minutes. Finally, flip it again so the skin is up and baste with sauce.
Serve: You can garnish with green onions and sesame seeds if you want. Serve the chicken with rice and some veggies for a complete meal.
