Ingredients

4 servings

4chicken thighs

large, 5 small, bone in skin on

1 Tbspwater

1.5 Tbspfish sauce

2.5 Tbsprice vinegar

¼ tspwhite pepper

or black

1red chili

large, finely sliced

Instructions

Step 1

1. Place sugar and water in a skillet over medium heat. Stir, then when it bubbles and the sugar is melted (it looks like caramel), add the rest of the ingredients except chicken.

Step 2

2. Stir, then put the chicken in skin side down.

Step 3

3. Adjust the heat so it is simmering energetically. Not rapidly, not a slow simmer (I use medium high heat on a weak stove, medium on a strong stove).

Step 4

4. After 25 minutes, turn the chicken. After another 25 minutes, the fat should separate from the sauce and turn a pale brown.

Step 5

5. Turn chicken so the skin side is down. Move it around so the sauce doesn't catch on the bottom of the skillet and to brown the skin.

Step 6

6. Once sauce and skin is brown, remove from heat.

Step 7

7. Place chicken on serving plates, spoon over some sauce. Garnish with shallots and chili, if using. Serve with rice.
