Caramel chicken

Woolworths is committed to sustainability via our good business journey. Seasonal (and other) products might not always be in stock.

Ingredients

2 T sunflower oil
8 free-range skinless chicken thighs
3 star anise
2 red chillies, halved
1 cinnamon stick
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1 t Woolworths crushed fresh turmeric
1 T Woolworths crushed fresh ginger
2 T coconut or Muscovado sugar
1⁄2 cup rice vinegar
1 cup hoisin sauce
1 T fish sauce
100 g peanuts, toasted and roughly chopped basmati or jasmine rice, steamed, for serving

Cooking Instructions

Heat the oil in a pan, then brown the chicken. Add the spices. Cook for 2 minutes.

Add the sugar and cook over a medium-low heat for 2 minutes.

Stir in the rice vinegar, hoisin sauce and fish sauce. Cook for 4 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.

Serve with the peanuts and rice.

Cook's note: The caramel flavour of coconut sugar is perfect for this recipe and it's perfectly balanced by the rice vinegar and fish sauce. I love the combination of sweet, spicy and salty.
