Ingredients

• Servings: 4
• 1/2 kg boneless skinless chicken breasts or 1/2 kg boneless skinless chicken thighs
• 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon rice wine or 1 tablespoon cooking wine
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 1 -2 drop pandan extract

• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 8 tablespoons water

Recipe

• 1 cut the chicken into 2" cubes.
• 2 combine all the ingredients for the marinade in a bowl.
• 3 add in the chicken to the marinade.
• 4 marinate for atleast 45mins in the refrigerator.
• 5 wrap each piece of chicken in a pandan leaf (if the leaf is too long, you could split it in two). you can use toothpicks to make sure that the chicken does not slip out of the leaf while frying.
• 6 start frying the chicken. make sure that the flame is on medium because you want the chicken to be cooked all the way through. however, since these are small pieces of chicken, it would just take around 10-12 mins to cook.
• 7 to make the dipping sauce, combine all the ingredients in a small sauce pan and let it simmer for around 5 minutes.
• 8 note: you can add a few pinches of chili flakes if you want the sauce to be a bit spicy.
• 9 serve the chicken with the dipping sauce.
