Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 8 servings

Marinade:

  • 1 yellow onion, finely chopped

  • ½ cup soy sauce

  • ½ cup brown sugar

  • 2 tablespoons minced garlic

  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil

  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper

Stew:

  • 12 chicken thighs, trimmed and cut into thirds

  • 2 yellow onions, sliced into 1/2-inch rings

  • 3 quarts water

  • 4 carrots, cut into 1-inch chunks

  • 2 jalapeno peppers, sliced into 1/2-inch-thick rings

Directions

  1. Mix chopped onion, soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, sesame oil, and black pepper in a large bowl to make marinade. Add chicken thighs; soak for at least 20 minutes.

  2. Spread onion rings on the bottom of a large pot. Place chicken thighs, with some of the marinade, on top. Pour in water to fill the pot halfway. Bring to a boil; reduce heat to medium-low and cook until chicken thighs are tender, about 1 hour 30 minutes. Add carrots and jalapeno peppers. Cook until carrots are soft, about 30 minutes more.

Cook's Note:

For a less-spicy version, remove the jalapeno seeds, but keep the pepper for added flavor and texture.
