Introduction
This pan-seared chicken requires no additional cooking oil, utilizing only the natural fats rendered from the chicken skin. The result is golden and crispy on the outside, tender and juicy on the inside, accented with fragrant crispy garlic slices and spicy dried chili. It is an aromatic, low-oil, and healthy home-cooked dish.
Step 1
No oil needed; place the skin-on chicken pieces 'skin-side down' directly into the pan and sear over medium-low heat to render the natural fat.
Step 2
Place garlic slices in the empty spaces of the pan and use the rendered chicken fat to fry them until golden and crispy.
Step 3
Evenly sprinkle with black pepper and seasoning powder, then add the dried chili segments and stir-fry together to release the aroma.
Step 4
Flip the chicken to cook through, stir-fry to ensure the ingredients and seasonings are fully integrated, and remove from the pan once both sides are golden and crispy.
Step 5
Plate the seared chicken and crispy garlic slices, sprinkle with fresh green onions, and serve.
Ingredients List
Important Notes
You must place the chicken 'skin-side down' in the pan to ensure enough chicken fat is rendered, achieving a crispy exterior and tender interior without added oil. 💡
It is recommended to use a non-stick pan for easier handling and to prevent sticking. 🍳
Do not add the garlic slices and dried chili too early, or they will easily burn and become bitter under high heat. ⚠️
