sizzling chicken recipe

My inspiration for my Garlic Black Pepper Chicken came from the famous Taiwanese night market steak plates.

Garlicky, buttery, spicy, and slightly tangy, the black pepper sauce is SUPER addicting and tastes good with everything.

I have a recipe for making Black Pepper Steak Sauce, but I wanted to make an EASY and fast version that is perfect for weeknight dinners. 

black pepper glaze

To make my Garlic Black Pepper Chicken, all you need is a few simple ingredients you already have at home.

All you need is soy sauce, oyster sauce, garlic, ketchup, black pepper, and honey for the condiments.

Ketchup is the secret ingredient that gives the tanginess which compliments the spicy from the black pepper.

You can adjust the amount of black pepper based on your spice tolerance. 

Garlic Black Pepper Chicken

I love using boneless chicken thighs WITH the skin on when making Garlic Black Pepper Chicken.

It is straightforward to debone chicken at home, and there are alot of YouTube videos that also break it down step by step.

However, if you are in a rush, you can also with chicken thigh bone-in. I recommend having the skin on the chicken as we will be pan-frying the chicken first to crisp up the skin.

The chicken oil will be infused with the sauce giving it an extra layer of flavor. The crispy skin also helps absorbs all the glaze, which makes this dish finger-licking good.

    High there, coming all the way from Instagram to comment. This recipe was amazing and so easy! I couldn’t find boneless chicken thighs with the skin anywhere, so I just used bone in chicken thighs but it did take significantly longer. Next time I will probably just use boneless skinless if I cannot fine the boneless with the skin on. I topped with green onions, my family loves it! This is the second recipe of hers I’ve tried and will be doing many more!

About Me
Hi! I am Tiffy and I am a HUGE foodie. I love to cook, I love to eat, and I love sharing what I love with the world.
I was born in Taiwan, a country with some of the best street food in the world. When I think back to my childhood, I remember all the fantastic restaurants my dad brought me to when I was young. You see, my family is also huge foodies; we use to wander around night markets every weekend, skip the last period in class to try out new restaurants, and every summer, we would travel around Taiwan exploring all the new “must try” dishes around the country.
