Ingredients

  • 4 pounds chicken thighs (about 8)
  • 2 tablespoons Asian seasoning
  • 1 1/4 cups chopped green onions
  • 2 tablespoons minced ginger
  • 4 cups chicken stock
  • 2 cups water
  • 1 cup soy sauce
  • 1/2 cup Chinese wine or medium-dry Sherry
  • 2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
  • 4 (3-inch) cinnamon sticks
  • 4 whole star anise
  • 4 teaspoons cornstarch dissolved in 8 teaspoons water

Directions

Season the chicken thighs with the Asian seasoning.

Heat a large Dutch oven over high heat. Add the chicken and cook, turning, until brown on all sides, about 5 minutes. With tongs, transfer to a plate. Lower the heat to medium and add 1 cup of the green onions and cook until tender, about 1 minute. Add the ginger and cook for 30 seconds. Add the stock, water, soy sauce, wine, vinegar, cinnamon and star anise and bring to a boil. Lower the temperature and simmer for 20 minutes. Return the chicken to the pan, cover, and braise over medium-low heat until tender, about 45 minutes.

Transfer chicken to a serving platter. Increase the heat to medium, add the cornstarch slurry and cook, stirring, until the sauce is thick and shiny, about 5 minutes.

To serve, spoon the rice into the center of each of 4 large plates. Arrange 2 thighs on the rice and spoon the sauce over the chicken. Garnish with the remaining 1/4 cup of green onions.

    Watery Chicken

    Rated: 1 stars out of 5
    I was disappointed in this recipe. The chicken wasn't very tasty; the sauce lacked a bit of lustre and the flavor got... sickening after the first few bites.Read more

    Tried this last night for dinner. It is now going on regular chicken rotation. Great meal! PS - The "Asian Spices" is "5... Spice". Go with a light dusting.Read more
