Introducing Kai Dong Sizzling Black Pepper Sauce!
Black pepper steak is my dad’s favorite night market dish, but he especially loves the sauce. So much so, he’s always wanted to bottle it and take it home. Kai Dong’s Sizzling Black Pepper Sauce is now my core memory with my dad, bottle up in a jar. It’s 100% vegan, no preservatives, and made completely from scratch in Taiwan!
Sizzling Black Pepper Sauce
Sizzling Black Pepper Sauce is your go-to for a savory punch with a bold kick of freshly cracked black pepper at its core! It’s perfect for anyone who loves a little extra sizzle. Drizzle it on steaks, toss it with veggies, or better yet, use it to make this Crispy Sizzling Black Pepper Chicken!
Kai Dong will be FULLY RESTOCKED MONDAY, SEPT 23.
Deboning Chicken Thigh
I don’t like picking pieces of bones out, so I love deboned skin-on chicken thighs for this Black Pepper Chicken. Boneless thighs have more surface area, so it cooks much faster.
If you’re having a hard time finding deboned chicken thigh, it’s super easy to do yourself at home! It takes only 5 minutes. I made Taiwanese Popcorn Chicken a while ago, and I showed you all how to debone your bone-in chicken thighs. Nothing goes to waste though – because I save the bones to make chicken stock later.
How To Get The Crispiest Skin
I love crispy chicken skin, so I’ve got a trick for extra crispy skin. All you need is a thin layer of corn starch on the outside of the chicken. Cornstarch will help lightly coat the protect the chicken, ensuring the inside stays nice and moist. You can also use gluten-free flours like tapioca starch and rice flour. All you need is a thin layer, dust off any excess, and that’s it!
Sizzling Black Pepper Chicken Ingredients
- 2 pieces of chicken thigh (boneless, with the skin on)
- Salt and pepper to season
- 3 tbsp of corn starch
- 4 tbsp Kai Dong Sizzling Black Pepper Sauce
- Sesame and green onion to garnish
How To Make Sizzling Black Pepper Chicken
- Season the chicken with salt and pepper, and coat the chicken with a thin layer of cornstarch on both sides.
- In a pan, drizzle in oil and turn the heat to medium-high. Once the pan is hot, add the chicken, skin side facing down.
- Pan-fry the chicken for 7 minutes on each side or until crispy and golden brown. Remove and set aside.
- Using the same pan, add in sizzling black pepper sauce. Turn the heat on medium and simmer for 30 seconds, or until fragrant.
- Add back in the chicken, simmer on high for 1-2 minutes, and serve garnished with sesame seeds and green onions.
