Method

  1. 1

    Gently pat the Marinated Chicken Tikka Thighs dry with paper towels to ensure a beautiful sear. Slice them into generous, uniform bite-sized pieces for even cooking.

  2. 2

    Heat a tablespoon of cooking oil in a large non-stick skillet or cast-iron pan over medium-high heat until it shimmers invitingly.

  3. 3

    Carefully place the chicken pieces into the hot pan, ensuring not to overcrowd it. Sear each side for 3-4 minutes until golden brown and beautifully caramelized, locking in their savory juices. Cook in batches if necessary.

  4. 4

    Once all chicken is seared, return it all to the pan. Reduce the heat to medium-low.

  5. 5

    Pour in a generous splash of Chings Dark Soya Sauce, along with an equal amount of water, allowing the rich liquid to bubble and envelop the chicken.

  6. 6

    Simmer gently, stirring occasionally, for 8-10 minutes, as the sauce gradually thickens into a glossy, dark glaze that clings perfectly to each succulent piece of chicken.

  7. 7

    Taste a piece of chicken. If needed, add a tiny pinch of salt or a grind of black pepper, though the marinade and soy sauce typically provide ample seasoning.

  8. 8

    Continue to cook for another 2-3 minutes, ensuring the chicken is thoroughly cooked through and fork-tender, with every bite bursting with flavor.

  9. 9

    Serve these shimmering Soya Glazed Chicken Bites immediately, allowing their aromatic steam to tantalize the senses.

πŸ‘©β€πŸ³ Chef's tip

For the best glaze, don't rush the simmering process; allow the sauce to reduce naturally, creating a thick, sticky coating. Cutting the chicken into uniform pieces ensures they cook evenly, preventing some from drying out while others are still cooking.
