  • green onions
  • garlic

Step 4: Once ready, pour both the sugars into a medium skillet over medium high heat and cook until they both begin to mix and melt, approximately 3-5 minutes.

Equipment:

  • frying pan

Step 5: Pour 1/3 cup of water, the fish sauce and rice vinegar, along with the onions, ginger, garlic and Thai chilis. Cook another 5-7 minutes or until the sauce just begins to reduce, then remove from heat.

Ingredients:

  • rice vinegar
  • thai chili
  • fish sauce
  • garlic
  • ginger
  • onion
  • sauce
  • water

Step 6: In a separate, larger skillet, heat a swirl of canola oil with the 1/2 teaspoon sugar over medium high heat. Once hot, add the chicken and sear on both sides, approximately 2 minutes per side, making sure the skin has sufficiently browned.

Ingredients:

  • canola oil
  • chicken
  • sugar

Equipment:

  • frying pan

Step 7: Pour half of the sauce in with the chicken and cook until it reduces by half. Turn the chicken over and add the remaining sauce. Cover and cook another 20-25 minutes or until done, basting the chicken occasionally and turning as necessary.

Ingredients:

  • chicken
  • sauce

Step 8: Garnish the chicken with the remaining scallions once done.

Ingredients:

  • green onions
  • chicken

Step 9: There wasnt enough fish sauce in the house, so there is a significant decrease in the suggested amount for the caramel sauce. The chicken was marinated with soy sauce for this reason as well. If youre going 100%% traditional, use all fish sauce for pure authenticity.

Ingredients:

  • caramel sauce
  • fish sauce
  • soy sauce
  • chicken
