- In a medium bowl, combine the sliced chicken, 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, cornstarch, and Shaoxing wine. Mix well until every piece is coated. Set aside to marinate for at least 15 minutes.
- In a separate small bowl, whisk together all the stir-fry sauce ingredients: oyster sauce, 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, dark soy sauce, black pepper, brown sugar, sesame oil, and chicken broth. Set aside.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Once shimmering, add the chicken in a single layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the wok and set it aside.
- Add the remaining tablespoon of oil to the wok. Add the diced onion and celery and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until they begin to soften. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- Return the cooked chicken to the wok. Pour the prepared stir-fry sauce over everything. Stir well to coat, bringing the sauce to a simmer. Let it bubble for 1-2 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken and cling to the chicken and vegetables.
- Serve your delicious Black Pepper Chicken hot over a bed of steamed rice or noodles.

Notes
Use coarsely ground black pepper for the best texture and flavor.
Ensure the pan is hot before adding the chicken to get a proper sear.
Prep all your ingredients before you start cooking, as stir-frying moves very quickly.
