Is oyster sauce very fishy?

Oyster sauce is more savory than fishy. It adds a deep, slightly sweet umami flavor rather than a strong seafood taste. If you’re unsure, start with a little less and add more near the end of cooking as you taste the sauce.

Can I use boneless chicken instead of wings?

You can adapt the sauce for boneless chicken thighs or drumsticks, but you’ll need to adjust the cooking time so the meat cooks through without overreducing the sauce. Wings work best for this method because the skin and bones help keep the meat juicy.
