"I usally buy the boneless chicken thighs for this but you can use regular chicken thighs. The difference is when cutting them in half, one will have a bone in and that piece will take longer to cook. Just remove the pieces with no bones after 20 minutes of cooking and leave the ones with the bone in for a few minutes longer. If gluten intolerant make sure you are using gluten free soy sauce and black bean sauce."

Step by Step Method
Step 1
