How to Make Five Star Chicken

  1. In a bowl, whisk together the marinade ingredients: 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp oyster sauce, 1 tbsp honey, 1 tbsp rice wine vinegar, 1 tsp sesame oil, 1 tsp grated ginger, and ½ tsp ground black pepper.
  2. Add 1 lb of chicken pieces (drumsticks, wings, or breasts) to the marinade, ensuring they are evenly coated.
  3. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, turning halfway through.
  4. Heat a large skillet or wok over medium heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook, turning occasionally, for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened and caramelized slightly.
  5. Serve immediately with steamed rice or noodles for a complete and satisfying meal. Enjoy!
