Bill Granger's caramel chicken
Juicy chicken thighs are coated in a glossy, savoury-sweet caramel sauce made with brown sugar, soy sauce, and fish sauce. The rich glaze balances sweet and umami notes perfectly with fragrant garlic and red onion. Serve piping hot over steamed rice accompanied by tender green vegetables.
