[Chapter3: Cook Green onion]
Heat a small pan on medium heat. Put some cooking oil.
Cook the green onion until both sides are coloured
Touch it. Once the inside is slightly soft, remove from the pan
Set it aside
[Chapter4: Cook chicken]
Heat the same pan with medium high heat. Put a bit of oil again
Place the chicken skin side down. Crack some black pepper on it
Once the skin looks brown, flip it
Turn down to low heat, then add the sauce
Place a lid on. Cook 2.5 mins
Open the lid, add the green onion, turn off the heat
Give it a quick mix

Don't put too much sauce on the bottom.
Make the centre of the plate a bit higher.
Pour most of the sauce from the top. It makes the chicken looks shiny and moist.
