Marinate the Chicken
In a bowl, combine the chicken pieces with paprika, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and soy sauce.
Mix well and let the chicken marinate for 10–15 minutes to absorb the flavours.
Coat and Cook the Chicken
After marinating, dust the chicken with cornstarch, tossing lightly so each piece is coated. Shake off any excess.
Heat oil in a large pan over medium-high heat.
Cook the chicken in batches until golden, crisp on the outside, and just cooked through.
Remove from the pan and set aside. Do not clean the pan.
Start the Gravy
In the same pan, add butter and let it melt.
Add the chopped garlic and sauté briefly until fragrant.
Immediately add the chopped onion and cook until soft and lightly golden.
Make the Gravy
Pour in the chicken stock, soy sauce, and oyster sauce.
Bring to a gentle simmer.
Mix cornstarch with water to make a slurry, then add it to the pan, stirring continuously until the gravy thickens.
Combine and Finish
Add the cooked chicken back into the pan.
Toss gently so the chicken is evenly coated in the mushroom gravy.
Let everything simmer together for 2–3 minutes, then turn off the heat.
