Ingredients
4 chicken breast (bone-in skin on)
3 stalks of green onions (white and green part separated)
4 cloves of garlic, smashed
2 tbsp avocado oil
Sesame Sticky Sauce
4 tbsp water
2 tbsp sweet thai chili sauce
2 tbsp rice vinegar
1 tbsp sesame oil
1 tbsp oyster sauce
1 tbsp soy sauce (or tamari)
1 tbsp sriracha
1 tbsp cornstarch
Serve with rice and vegetables.
Instructions
Prepare the Chicken:
- Remove the bones from the chicken breasts while keeping the skin on for a nice crust. Pat dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
Prep the Sticky Sesame Sauce:
- In a small bowl, combine water, sweet Thai chili sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, oyster sauce, soy sauce, sriracha, and cornstarch. Set aside.
Pan Fry the Chicken:
- Heat avocado oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add smashed garlic cloves and the white parts of green onions to the pan. Sauté for a minute until fragrant.
- Place the chicken breasts skin side down in the pan. Allow them to cook undisturbed for about 5-7 minutes until the skin becomes golden and crispy.
- Flip the chicken breasts using tongs and cook for another 5-7 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the juices run clear.
Add Sauce:
- Once the chicken is cooked through, pour the prepared sesame sticky sauce over the chicken in the pan.
- Do not pour the sauce over the skin if you want crispy chicken.
- Toss the chicken gently in the sauce, ensuring each piece is well coated.
- Allow the sauce to simmer and thicken for another 1-2 minutes.
Serve:
- Transfer the chicken breasts to a serving plate.
- Garnish with the green parts of the sliced green onions.
- Serve hot, accompanied by rice or your favorite side dishes.
- Enjoy your delicious pan-fried chicken breast with stickysesame sauce!
