Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 1/2 pounds skin-on, bone-in chicken legs and thighs
Kosher salt
8 garlic cloves, peeled
1/3 cup (packed) light brown sugar
1/4 cup (or more) unseasoned rice vinegar
2 1/4"-thick slices peeled ginger
1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
1/4 cup reduced-sodium soy sauce
2 scallions, thinly sliced
Cooked white rice (for serving)

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a large wide heavy pot over medium-high heat. Season chicken with salt and, working in 2 batches, cook until golden brown and crisp, 6-8 minutes per side; transfer to a plate. Add garlic to pot and cook, stirring often, until golden, about 2 minutes; transfer to plate with chicken. Pour off fat from pot.
  • Return pot to medium-high heat and add 1/2 cup water, scraping up browned bits. Add brown sugar; stir to dissolve, then cook, stirring, until mixture thickens and turns a deep amber color, about 4 minutes. Carefully add vinegar (it may bubble up; sugar will crystallize); stir to dissolve sugar.
  • Add ginger, broth, and soy sauce, then add chicken, skin side up, and garlic. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer gently until chicken is cooked through, 20-25 minutes. Transfer chicken to a plate.
  • Bring cooking liquid to a boil and cook until thick enough to coat a spoon, about 10 minutes. Return chicken to pot; turn to coat. Top with scallions and serve with rice.

Overall, this recipe was a bit disappointing. The chicken was tough and the sauce was bland. I won't be making this again.

The chicken was a bit dry, but the sauce was delicious. I think I would try marinating the chicken overnight next time.

This dish was a bit too sweet for my taste, but I think that's just a personal preference. The chicken was cooked well and the sauce was thick and glossy.

I'm not usually a fan of caramel chicken, but this recipe changed my mind. The chicken was crispy and flavorful, and the sauce was rich and decadent. I will definitely be making this again.

This recipe was easy to follow and the results were amazing. The chicken was tender and juicy, and the sauce was perfectly balanced between sweet and savory.

This recipe is a keeper! The chicken came out perfectly cooked, and the sauce was delicious. I especially loved the addition of the sesame seeds, which gave the dish a nice nutty flavor.

Amazing! I've tried many caramel chicken recipes, but this one is definitely the best. The chicken is so tender and juicy, and the sauce is just perfect - sweet, savory, and slightly tangy. I will definitely be making this again and again!
