Spicy Caramel Chicken

Spicy Caramel Chicken
  • Sauce:
  • 2 tablespoons finely grated fresh ginger
  • 4 cloves finely minced garlic
  • 3/4 cup light brown sugar
  • 1/3 cup rice vinegar
  • 1/3 cup fish sauce
  • 2 teaspoons hot pepper sauce, or to taste
  • 1 teaspoon soy sauce
  • 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup sliced, seeded jalapeno peppers
  • 1/2 cup sliced, seeded mild red chilies or bell peppers
  • 1/2 cup roasted peanuts
  • 1/2 cup chopped green onions, plus more for garnish
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro leaves
  • 4 cups cooked white rice


  1. Whisk grated ginger, garlic, brown sugar, rice vinegar, fish sauce, hot sauce, and soy sauce together in a large bowl.
  2. Place chicken chunks in a bowl. Pour 1/4 cup of the prepared sauce onto chicken chunks; mix until all chicken pieces are coated. Set aside 15 minutes.
  3. Heat vegetable oil in a heavy skillet over high heat. As soon as oil starts to smoke, place chicken chunks in a single layer in the pan. Cook and stir until chicken pieces start to caramelize and turn deep brown, 8 to 10 minutes. Reduce heat to medium. Stir in sliced jalapeno and red peppers, peanuts, and green onions. Cook and stir one minute. Pour in remainder of sauce. Simmer until heated through, 1 or 2 minutes. Remove from heat.
  4. Stir in cilantro. Serve over hot cooked rice and top with chopped green onions.
