- 4 chicken thighs deboned but skin-on
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1½ tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce or soy sauce
- ¾ teaspoon turmeric powder
- 1 pinch cayenne pepper
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 tablespoon oil
Add the garlic, honey, oyster sauce, turmeric powder, cayenne pepper and salt to the chicken, stir to combine well.
Heat up a skillet (cast-iron preferred) on medium heat and add the oil. Transfer the chicken to the skillet and cook on both sides, until they turn golden brown, crispy on the bottom and nicely glazed and browned on the skin side.
Dish out and serve immediately.
You may use chicken breast, chicken drumsticks or wings for this recipe. You may also bake or grill this recipe. If baking, bake it at 400F for 20 minutes are until the chicken is slightly charred.
Bryan's Notes:
I used 6 fairly large skinless, boneless chicken thighs, and didn't adapt the other ingredients much to compensate. I used Oyster Sauce, no additional salt, and an enameled cast iron grill pan on an induction burner. It turned out delicious!
