🍗 How a Chinese Chef cooks Chicken Thighs (煎雞扒)!

Watch Daddy Lau teach us how to make pan-fried chicken thighs! This is the perfect recipe for a quick weeknight dinner that also happen to be the best chicken thighs I’ve ever tasted. Seriously.

If you’re scared of getting splashed with hot oil when pan-frying, you can use a oil splatter screen, like this one: https://amzn.to/43QZQzc
