Chicken in Caramel Sauce Recipe

Ingredients

How to make it

  • Melt the sugar in a saucepan over medium heat. Off the fire, pour in the fish sauce while stirring. Bring back to fire and continue stirring until smooth.
  • Add the sliced onion and lots of ground black pepper. Mix well then set aside ( this will be the caramel sauce).
  • Cut off the roots of the lemongrass. From the base, cut a one-inch piece (the light colored part).,discard the fibrous leaves. Crush the lemongrass and chop finely. Set aside.
  • Place the chicken thighs, skin side down, on a heated non-stick frying pan,large enough to hold all the chicken in a single layer.
  • Cook over high heat until the skin renders fat.
  • Pour in the caramel sauce, grated ginger and chopped lemongrass. ( If you did not have any yellow ginger, use the ordinary ginger but in this step, add some turmeric powder to acquire the yellow orange-y color of the chicken.) Simmer for about 20 minutes. Flip the chicken around 10 minutes of simmering to even the cooking.
  • Lift the chicken pieces from the sauce and slice.
  • Serve with rice or with your favorite vegetable salad. In my case, I serve this with Piquant Cucumber Salad.
