An easy, one-pan recipe for pan-seared chicken and potatoes, a classic dish that rivals Nikujaga! Tender chicken thighs and fluffy potatoes are coated in a sweet and savory sauce infused with oyster sauce. Microwaving saves time, making this a hearty and satisfying meal.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients (2 servings)

  • Chicken Thighs 1 large (approx. 250g)
  • Potatoes 2 medium (approx. 250g)
  • All-Purpose Flour 1 tbsp

Seasonings

  • Salt a pinch
  • Black Pepper a pinch
  • [A] Cooking Sake (Rice Wine) 1 tbsp
  • [A] Mirin (Sweet Rice Wine) 1 tbsp
  • [A] Soy Sauce 2 tsp
  • [A] Oyster Sauce 2 tsp
  • [A] Sugar 2 tsp
  • Vegetable Oil

Steps

  1. Peel and cut potatoes (2 medium, approx. 250g) into 8 wedges, removing any eyes.
  2. Place the cut potatoes in a microwave-safe dish, cover with plastic wrap, and microwave on 600 watts for 2.5 minutes.
  3. In a bowl, mix together Cooking Sake (Rice Wine) 1 tbsp, Mirin (Sweet Rice Wine) 1 tbsp, Soy Sauce 2 tsp, Oyster Sauce 2 tsp, and Sugar 2 tsp.
  4. Trim excess fat and sinew from chicken thigh 1 large (approx. 250g) and cut into bite-sized pieces.
  5. Place the cut chicken in a food bag along with salt a pinch, black pepper a pinch, and all-purpose flour 1 tbsp. Close the bag and shake to coat the chicken evenly with flour. [This is the key!] Coating with flour prevents the chicken's juices from escaping, ensuring a juicy result and helping the sauce adhere better.
  6. Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium heat.
  7. Arrange the chicken pieces, skin-side down, on one side of the hot pan. Place the microwaved potatoes on the other side.
  8. Sear the chicken until the skin side is golden brown.
  9. Flip the chicken and then flip the potatoes.
  10. Cover the pan and steam-fry over medium-low heat for 2 minutes.
  11. Wipe away any excess oil from the pan with a paper towel. [This is the key!] By cooking the potatoes in the juices and oil released from the chicken, the potatoes will absorb the chicken's delicious flavor.
  12. Re-mix the sauce mixture and pour it into the pan.
  13. Cook over medium to medium-high heat, allowing the liquid to reduce while stirring to coat. [This is the key!] Adding oyster sauce provides richness, creating a savory and glossy teriyaki-chicken-like flavor with a Chinese twist.
  14. Plate the dish and sprinkle with chopped green onions to serve.
