Cut the chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces and set aside.

Step 2

In a small bowl, create a sauce mixture by combining oyster sauce, soy sauce, dark soy sauce, water, and sugar. Stir well and set aside.

Pour the sauce mixture over the chicken and stir to coat evenly.

Step 8

Reduce the heat to medium and let the chicken simmer in the sauce for about 3-4 minutes.
