Ingredients

  • 12 chicken thighs boneless, skinless
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp black pepper
  • 1 tbsp chinese five-spice powder
  • 1 tbsp cinnamon
  • 1 tbsp nutmeg
  • 1 tbsp chili powder
  • 1 tbsp oregano
  • 1 tbsp salt
  • 1 tbsp paprika (smoked)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 325F
  • Mix all the spices together in a bowl
  • Place chicken in an oven safe dish, toss with olive oil spice mix, saving approx 1 tbsp of the spice mix for later
  • Roast chicken for approx 25 minutes
  • Remove the chicken from the oven and let cool approx 5 minutes
  • In the meantime, heat 1 tbsp of olive oil in a large frying pan
  • Once chicken is cooled enough to handle, chop into small bit sized pieces
  • Add the chicken pieces and remaining spice mix to the pan, and sauté on high heat for approx 5-10 minutes
  • Make sure to not mix too often as you want some of the chicken to get good'n'crispy
  • Use a spoon to scrape off any goo that might stick as you cook. It is important to you do NOT deglaze the pan. Drink the wine instead
  • Remove from heat one desired crispiness is achieved and serve with rice and sauces
