Peppery flavourful tender juicy chickeN

This is nothing like your normal everyday western Black Pepper Chicken (Chop) that most are accustomed to - where the Black Pepper sauce is prepared separately and doused over the boneless pan-fried Chicken Thigh. This version is done in a completely different way, specifically, the Chinese's slow braising way which produces a much more flavorful tender meat and intense Black Pepper flavor infused into the Chicken. Here's The VianD take on "Braised Black Pepper Chicken Thigh (The VianD's Way)".

Wonderfully luscious succulent flavorful additive chickeN

packed with finger lickin' good intense Black Pepper flavors.
