  • 2 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon five-spice powder
  • 1 tablespoon Chinese rice wine or Japanese cooking sake
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil

  • 1 1/2 tablespoons oil
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)

Directions

    Debone the chicken thighs following the instructions here. Mix the soy sauce, five spice powder, wine, sesame oil and sugar together. Whisk to dissolve sugar completely. Add the sauce mixture to the chicken. Stir to coat well.
