The combination of fried chicken pieces and oyster sauce goes great together. This recipe uses boneless chicken thighs but you could use boneless skinless chicken breasts as well. The chicken is sliced into chunks and then coated with flour and cornstarch and fried in hot oil. The fried chicken pieces are then tossed with a sauce. The sauce gets a lot of its flavor from the oyster sauce, soy sauce, and vinegar. I like to serve this recipe with rice or pasta. Enjoy.
