Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, combine soy sauce, oyster sauce, honey, and black pepper. Add chicken thighs and coat evenly. Let marinate for 15–20 minutes.
Make the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together garlic, Thai red chili, fish sauce, water, sugar, and lime juice until the sugar dissolves. Stir in chopped cilantro and set aside.
Cook the Chicken: Heat a pan over medium heat with a drizzle of oil. Pan-fry the chicken thighs for 6–7 minutes per side, or until golden brown and fully cooked through. Remove and let rest for 2–3 minutes before slicing.
Assemble the Bowls: Divide rice between four bowls, top with sliced chicken, and drizzle generously with the Thai lime chili sauce. Garnish with extra cilantro and lime wedges if desired.
