Ingredients

Instructions

  1. 1Debone the chicken thigh
    A deboned chicken thigh lying flat on a wooden cutting board.

    Place the fresh chicken thigh on a wooden cutting board and use a sharp knife to carefully remove the bone, keeping the meat intact for even cooking.

    Tip: Work slowly and use a sharp knife to minimize meat wastage while removing the bone.
  2. 2Marinate the chicken
    The chicken thigh pieces coated in marinade and aromatics inside a metal bowl.

    Season the deboned chicken with ginger, green onion, mirin, soy sauce, dark soy sauce, and black pepper. Massage the seasonings into the meat and allow it to marinate for at least 15 minutes to develop deep flavor.

    Tip: Ensure the chicken is thoroughly coated for an even marinade penetration.
  3. 3Prepare the egg mixture
    An egg mixture with milk and spices being whisked in a glass bowl.

    In a glass bowl, combine two eggs with a pinch of black pepper, sea salt, and 50ml of milk. Whisk the mixture thoroughly until well combined.

    Tip: Using milk helps create a fluffier, creamier texture for the scrambled eggs.
  4. 4Mix the braising sauce
    The sauce ingredients blended together in a white bowl.

    In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, dark soy sauce, mirin, oyster sauce, honey, and a splash of water. Stir well until the ingredients are fully incorporated.

    Tip: Ensure the honey is completely dissolved into the sauce mixture.
  5. 5Scramble the eggs
    Fluffy egg curds being formed in a hot frying pan.

    Heat a pan with a small amount of oil. Pour in the egg mixture and use a wooden spatula to gently push the eggs inward, creating soft, fluffy curds. Remove from the heat once set.

    Tip: Cook over medium heat to avoid overcooking the eggs; they should remain tender.
  6. 6Pan-fry the chicken
    The chicken thigh frying in a skillet, focusing on the crispy skin.

    Place the marinated chicken into a hot pan, skin side down. Fry until the skin becomes golden and crispy, then flip to cook the other side.

    Tip: Keep the heat controlled so the skin crisps without burning.
  7. 7Braise the chicken
    A pan containing golden-brown, crispy-skinned chicken thighs with a rich, dark sauce being poured over them.

    Pour the prepared sauce mixture over the crispy, pan-fried chicken thighs. Cover the pan and let it braise for 10 minutes, allowing the chicken to cook through and absorb the deep, savory flavors of the sauce.

    Tip: Ensure the heat is on medium-low during the braising process so the sauce doesnt reduce too quickly before the chicken is tender.
  8. 8Thicken the sauce
    A dark, savory sauce bubbling in a pan with chicken pieces, becoming thick and glossy after the addition of cornstarch slurry.

    Once the chicken is braised, pour the cornstarch slurry into the pan. Increase the heat to high and cook, stirring or shaking the pan gently, until the sauce thickens and forms a glossy, flavorful glaze that coats the chicken.

    Tip: Add the slurry gradually while stirring to achieve your desired sauce consistency.

Frequently Asked Questions

You can, but thighs are recommended for this recipe as they remain much juicier during the braising process. If using breast, reduce the cooking time to avoid over drying the meat.
The sauce is ready when it coats the back of a spoon and appears glossy and thick. If it is too thin, continue cooking on high heat; if too thick, add a tiny splash of water.
Milk introduces extra moisture and fat to the egg mixture, which helps create a noticeably creamier and fluffier texture compared to whisking eggs alone.
