For the Seasoning:
Salt, to taste
1 tbsp oyster sauce

👩‍🍳 Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Chicken
Debone the chicken legs and cut them into pieces (not too small).
Optional: If you prefer, remove the chicken skin. However, leaving it on enhances the flavor and moisture.
Step 2: Marinate the Chicken
In a bowl, add salt, oyster sauce, white pepper, cornstarch, light soy sauce, and sesame oil to the chicken pieces.
Mix the ingredients thoroughly to coat the chicken evenly.
Marinate in the refrigerator for 30-60 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
Step 3: Prepare the Green Onions and Shallots
While the chicken marinates, slice the green onions and shallots into rings.
Green onions are the key flavor element, so be sure to have enough, and the combination with shallots will create a more fragrant, balanced dish.
Step 4: Cook the Chicken
