Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- Take your chicken thighs and pat them completely dry with paper towels.
- Sprinkle the salt, black pepper, and garlic powder evenly over both sides of each thigh and let it sit at room temperature for about 5 to 10 minutes.
Cooking the Chicken
- Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large skillet or pan over medium-high heat.
- Place the chicken thighs in the pan smooth side down and cook undisturbed for about 5 to 6 minutes.
- Flip the chicken and cook for another 5 to 6 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 74 degrees Celsius or 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
Cooking the Mushrooms
- In the same pan, add the sliced mushrooms and cook for 3 to 4 minutes without stirring.
- Stir and cook for another 2 minutes until the mushrooms are nicely browned.
Building the Sauce
- Add the butter and let it melt around the mushrooms, then add the minced garlic and cook for about 60 seconds.
- Pour in honey, soy sauce, oyster sauce, and chicken broth, then simmer over medium heat for 2 to 3 minutes.
Thickening the Sauce
- Pour in the cornstarch slurry while stirring constantly until the sauce thickens within 30 to 60 seconds.
Finishing
- Nestle the seared chicken thighs back into the pan and spoon some sauce over each piece.
- Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer together for 3 to 4 minutes.
Serving
- Take the pan off the heat and sprinkle freshly chopped parsley or sliced green onions on top.
- Serve immediately while hot.
Notes
Use chicken thighs for juicier results, don't crowd the mushrooms, and always mix the cornstarch slurry in cold water before adding it to hot liquid.
