Chef John’s Caramel Chicken


“This stunning dish is an amazing combination of sweet, spicy, and salty flavors all sticking to succulent pieces of chicken.” This recipe seems Thai – it is chicken thighs, a brown sugar, ginger, garlic sauce with jalpenoos, green onions, and roasted peanuts. Served over Jasmine rice. Very good but not overly hot!
