Scallion Oil Chicken
Learn how to make the most tender, juicy and succulent scallion oil chicken in just about 20 minutes in your kitchen.
Ingredients
- 4 boneless chicken thighs
- ½ cup apple cider vinegar
- ¼ cup soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon ginger
- 1 teaspoon garlic
- 1 teaspoon brown sugar
- ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper powder
- 3-4 green onion
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon oil
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine the chicken with the minced garlic and ginger, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar and seasonings.
- Mix well, cover and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.
- Heat oil in a pan and sear the chicken on both sides over medium heat for 7-8 minutes.
- Once the chicken is cooked, transfer to a serving platter and top with scallion oil.
Notes
- To bulk up the dish, add some thinly sliced veggies like bell peppers, zucchini, mushrooms and carrots or even some Bok choy or broccoli florets along with the chicken.
- For some extra flavor, sometimes I end up spooning some Homemade Chili Garlic Oil or Hot Tomato Oil over the chicken, and you can try that too!
- Make sure you cook the chicken on medium heat and use a good quality pan or skillet to ensure that the meat is evenly cooked.
- If you want the dish to have a bit of a saucy texture, you can add a spoonful of cornflour into the marinade.
- For some extra Asian flavor and a bit of texture, top the dish with some toasted sesame seeds right before you serve.
- A dash of oyster sauce or teriyaki sauce can also amp up the flavors of the dish. If you have either of these, definitely add them to the mix!
