VIETNAMESE CLAY POT CHICKEN RECIPE - (4.1/5)



Vietnamese Clay Pot Chicken Recipe - (4.1/5) image

Provided by polloazul

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 pounds chicken thighs or legs, skin-on
1/4 cup soy sauce
1 1/2 cups water
2 tablespoons white vinegar
1 tablespoon fish sauce
1 teaspoon lemon juice
2 tablespoons peanut or vegetable oil
1/2 cup dark brown sugar
1 medium onion, diced
2 bird's eye chilis or other small red peppers, minced
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons fresh ginger, peeled and minced
Cilantro springs for garnish (optional)

Steps:

  • Blot the chicken with paper towels to remove excess moisture. Combine the soy sauce, water, white vinegar, fish sauce, and lemon juice in a bowl and set aside. Heat the oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Working in batches, carefully place the chicken thighs in the wok skin-side down and sear for about 5 minutes, until the skin is golden brown. Transfer to a plate and set aside. In a clay pot, Dutch oven, or deep skillet over medium heat, melt the brown sugar while stirring frequently to avoid scorching. When the sugar fully liquifies, immediate pour in the soy sauce mixture. Add the chicken, onions, chilis, garlic, and ginger. Bring the liquid to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook for 30 to 35 minutes, until the chicken is very tender and the sauce has reduced by at least half. Use tongs to transfer the chicken to a serving dish. Pour the sauce over the chicken, garnish with cilantro springs, and serve hot with rice on the side.

VIETNAMESE CLAY POT CHICKEN



Vietnamese Clay Pot Chicken image

This is a delicious and well known Vietnamese dish which you can prepare in your own home. Many traditional Vietnamese recipes are prepared in a clay pot, which is first soaked in water before being placed in a cold oven. As the pot heats up in the oven, tiny water particles are released, causing a pressure-steaming effect to cook the food. The result? Intensified flavour and tenderness, retention of nutrients and vitamins, and a wonderful aroma when the lid is removed. If using your clay pot for the first time, submerge it and the lid overnight in cold water, then proceed with the recipe. Thereafter the pot and lid need only be soaked for 15 minutes prior to using. It is important to use an unglazed clay pot, not a terra cotta baking pot with glazed interior and unglazed exterior. When removing the hot clay pot from the oven, always set it on a cloth pad or towel rather than a cold surface, or the sudden change in temperature may crack the pot. Preparation time for this recipe does not include soaking the pot or the time needed to marinate the chicken.
