For a richer caramel flavor, consider using dark brown sugar. Adjust the amount of crushed red pepper flakes to control the level of spiciness. Serve over jasmine rice to soak up all of the delicious sauce. Garnish with sesame seeds for added flavor.

Follow The Directions
01
Step
5 mins
In a medium bowl, whisk together the dark brown sugar, rice vinegar, water, fish sauce, soy sauce, crushed garlic, grated ginger, and crushed red pepper flakes until the sugar is completely dissolved. Ensure all ingredients are well combined for a harmonious flavor profile. (Prep time: ~5 minutes)
02
Step
5 mins
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add the quartered chicken thighs and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown on all sides. This should take about 5 minutes. Achieving a good sear on the chicken will enhance its flavor and texture.
03
Step
5 mins
Pour in half a cup of the prepared brown sugar mixture. Continue to cook and stir, allowing the sauce to thicken and coat the chicken, approximately 5 minutes more. Watch closely to prevent the sugar from burning.
04
Step
11 mins
Pour in the remaining sauce. Continue cooking until the chicken is cooked through and the juices run clear when pierced with a fork, about 10-12 minutes. An instant-read thermometer should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C) when inserted into the thickest part of the chicken. This ensures the chicken is safe to eat.
05
Step
1 mins
Garnish generously with chopped green onions before serving. Serve hot and enjoy this delectable Caramel Chicken with steamed rice or your favorite side dishes.
