Vietnamese Roasted Chicken Recipe

 

Vietnamese Roasted Chicken Recipe (Ga Ro Ti)

SND Note: Bone-in, skin-on dark chicken meat is highly recommended for the best flavor. We prefer the use of chicken thighs. Boneless, skinless thighs can be used, but you'll miss out on the best part, the extra crispy skin. Frying the chicken in the skillet allows for better control of browning and the ability to make dirty sticky rice from the fond, the dark brown bits left in the skillet. Larger chicken pieces require up to 24 hours of marinating for the best flavor.
Ingredients
  • 2 1/2 pounds chicken thighs
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons fish sauce
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons canola or vegetable oil, plus additional for frying
  • 4-5 cloves garlic, minced
Directions
  1. Trim excess skin and visible fat from chicken thighs using kitchen shears; set aside.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together sugar, pepper, soy sauce, fish sauce and oil until well combined. Stir in garlic. Add the chicken thighs and evenly distribute the marinade between the thighs. For extra flavor, stuff a little garlic and marinade under the skin. Cover and marinate for 12 to 24 hours in the fridge.
  3. Adjust oven rack to middle position; heat oven to 350°F. Heat 1/2 tablespoon oil in a large nonstick, oven-proof skillet over medium high heat. Add the chicken to the skillet skin side down, reduce heat to medium and fry until the skin is deep golden brown, about 6 - 8 minutes. Flip chicken and brown other side for 2-3 minutes; set chicken aside. Don't overcrowd chicken during browning; work in batches if necessary.
  4. Drain rendered fat from pan and remove any burnt garlic; leaving a thin film of oil in the skillet. Return chicken to skillet, skin side up and place into oven. Roast chicken for 30-40 minutes depending on the size of the thighs. To check for doneness, poke the chicken with a knife; the juices should run clear (bone-in thighs 170°F internal temp, boneless thighs 165°F internal temp). Remove chicken from skillet and serve with dirty sticky rice.

Makes 4 servings with sticky rice

Brisket broth or brisket noodle soup

  Sprinkle 2 lb brisket with 4 tsp kosher salt and pepper  Heat dutch oven on medium high heat and add  2 Tbsp oil Once the oil is hot add 2 Tbsp minced fresh ginger 2 Tbsp minced garlic When fragrant, (fast, like 30 seconds !) add 2 whole star anise 1 cinnamon stick 1.5 Tbsp. brown sugar or agave  2 Tbsp. rice vinegar  2 Tbsp soy sauce the prepared brisket, above  Stir all that around for a few minutes and add  10 Cups water 1 Tbsp. hondashi at least 2 Tbsp gochujang i think its good to add some mild and some hot and you can add more if you taste. I want lots of flavor more than lots of heat You can also skip browning, put everything but meat into pot and taste for salt and then boil away. I like the garlic and ginger in the soup so if I was sauteing it first i would probably add raw after the water is in. In either case, once the water is in bring to boil and cook for at least 2 hours until brisket is done, you can cook longer and the beef will fal...
