1. So the first thing you want to do is chop your onions and spring onion. Cut your onions into large chunks and split your spring onions into 4. Mince your garlic and pop to the side
2. For the chicken thighs, slice into strips or chunks then season with salt, pepper and add your egg. Mix and coat in corn flour. Be sure to shake off the excess, you don’t want it to be super clumpy.
3. Now shallow fry your chicken in some neutral oil, it should only take 3-4 minutes. Remove from the pan and drain away most of the oil.
4. Now on high heat cook off your onions for 1-2 mins, then add your minced garlic. After 30 seconds add in your chicken and toss.

THE GRUB WORKS KITCHEN on Instagram: "Takeaway series: EP 3 Chicken chow mein 🐔 This one is easy, takes less than 30 mins but hits every single time. I don’t know about you guys, but Chinese takeaways are getting quite expensive and you can make this at home for less and get way more! The key is to use a screaming hot wok, that gives you the char on the noodles/onions which then gives you that authentic taste. Traditionally, it’s made with chicken breast, but chicken breast is less flavourful and more expensive than thighs. In this episode I show you the cornstarch coating method, soon we will cover velveting which is the best method for breast meat. Tip- Blanch your egg noodles in hot water for 1 minute, drain, rinse and pat dry to remove any excess moisture. Do this step before you place them into your pan Ingredients: 4 chicken thighs 1/2 tsp salt 1/2 tsp pepper 1 egg cornstarch (to coat) 650g egg noodles 1 large white onion 2 garlic cloves 5 spring onions Handful bean sprouts Sauce: 4 tbsp light soy sauce 2 tbsp dark soy sauce 1 tbsp oyster sauce 2 tbsp sesame oil 2 tsp sugar 1/2 tsp msg 2 tbsp water Tsp white pepper Method: 1.
