Asian Caramel Chicken Fantastic Combination Of Sweet Salty Sour And Strong Recipes

CARAMEL CHICKEN

Steps:

• In a large skillet heat oil over medium high heat. Season chicken with salt and cook until golden brown on each side until crisp and cooked through. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
• Add garlic cloves to skillet until golden brown about 2 minutes. Transfer to the plate of chicken.
• Return pot to medium high heat and carefully pour 1/2 cup of water scraping down the browned bits. Whisk in the brown sugar until dissolved. Then cook until mixture turns a deep amber color. About 4 minutes. Carefully add vinegar and stir to dissolve.
• Add garlic, broth and soy sauce. Bring cooking liquid to a boil and whisk occasionally. This takes about 10 minutes. Be patient. The sauce will thicken and glaze the chicken beautifully.
• Once glaze is ready, turn heat to medium low and return chicken to pan until heated through. Serve over rice and garnish with scallions or green onions if desired.

ASIAN CARAMEL CHICKEN - FANTASTIC COMBINATION OF SWEET, SALTY, SOUR AND STRONG

Steps:

• Delicious tender chicken pieces in a magically good sauce that is both sweet, strong, sour and salty. When the sauce is reduced during cooking, it becomes thicker and sticks perfectly to the chicken. This recipe originates from Vietnam. I also made a film of the whole process you can see at the bottom of the recipe.
• Start by mixing all the ingredients for the sauce / marinade. Stir well so the sugar dissolves. Cut the chicken thighs into suitably large pieces and pour over 2-3 tablespoons of the sauce. Mix well and let the chicken marinate in this for a minimum of 15 minutes.
• Fry the chicken on high heat until it has a golden and caramelized surface. You do not have to worry about the chicken being cooked through. It should boil in the sauce afterwards. When the chicken has got a nice golden crust, take the chicken out of the pan.
• Pour the rest of the sauce into the pan and cook for a few minutes until it reduces slightly in volume and becomes a little thicker.
• Add the chicken back to the sauce and turn down the heat to medium. I save some of the spring onion and chili to sprinkle over at the end, but the rest I now pour into the sauce.
• Let simmer for 10-15 minutes until the sauce becomes a little sticky and sticks well to the chicken. I serve rice for this dish and finish by sprinkling some fresh chili, spring onions and cilantro. Now you can make a delicious Asian caramel chicken. Good luck. (See video of the process below).
