Ingredients
- 1 (4 pound) whole chicken, cut into pieces
- 3 tablespoons finely chopped green onion
- 3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon chopped onion
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 1 cup water
- ½ cup canned coconut milk (Optional)
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (Optional)
- 2 tablespoons ketchup
- 1 tablespoon butter
Instructions
- Place chicken on a plate. Sprinkle the green onion, cilantro, garlic, onion, salt and pepper over it. Cover, and marinate for 30 minutes.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a deep pot over medium heat. Stir in the sugar, and cook until the sugar has melted into a nice golden brown syrup. Add the chicken pieces, and brown quickly while turning continuously. Cover the pot, and let it cook for 2 minutes.
