Full of flavor and delightfully easy to make, this oyster sauce chicken recipe is a perfect savory dish for busy weeknights. It cooks up in less than 30 minutes and is a delicious, healthy meal when served over rice. While most recipes leave bone-in chicken thighs whole, this recipe has you cut them in half. It's a traditional chinese approach that creates smaller serving size pieces: it's possible to get 22 pieces out of a whole chicken rather than the standard eight full-size pieces. The advantage is that it speeds up the cooking time and ensures the thighs are cooked thoroughly. Make sure everyone at the table knows there are bones in the chicken. You can use other pieces of chicken or boneless chicken if you prefer.
