Cut the chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces.

Add the chicken and stir-fry for 8 minutes, until no longer pink and it reaches 74°C on a meat thermometer.
Add the onion and red pepper and stir-fry for 3 minutes until just softened.
Pour in the soy sauce, oyster sauce, sugar and stock and toss for 2 minutes to coat.
