Oyster mushroom chicken thighs are a delicious, savory dish that’s easy to prepare. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you create this flavorful meal at home.
Ingredients:
- 4 chicken thighs, bone-in or boneless
- 200g fresh oyster mushrooms, cleaned and trimmed
- 3 tablespoons oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: a pinch of five-spice powder or sesame oil for extra flavor.
Instructions:
1. Marinate the chicken: In a bowl, mix oyster sauce, soy sauce, sugar, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken thighs, ensuring they are well-coated. Let them marinate for at least 20 minutes (or longer for deeper flavor).
2. Sear the chicken: Heat oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the chicken thighs, skin-side down if using bone-in, and sear for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown.
3. Cook the mushrooms: Push the chicken to one side, add the oyster mushrooms to the pan, and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until they soften.
4. Simmer together: Pour in any remaining marinade, add a splash of water (about ¼ cup), and bring to a simmer. Cover and cook for 10-12 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the mushrooms are tender.
5. Finish and serve: Uncover, increase heat slightly to thicken the sauce, and stir in optional sesame oil. Garnish with green onions and serve hot with steamed rice or noodles.
This dish combines the umami richness of oyster sauce with the tender texture of chicken and mushrooms, making it a perfect weeknight dinner. Enjoy!
