Steps:
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large cast-iron skillet or other heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper and add to the skillet; cook until browned, about 4 minutes per side. Remove to a plate.
- Remove and discard 3 tablespoons rendered fat from the skillet; reduce the heat to medium. Add the garlic, shallot and ginger and cook until softened, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the coconut water, fish sauce and brown sugar and stir until the sugar is melted. Bring to a simmer and cook until the sauce thickens (the bubbles will begin to slow as it thickens), 4 to 5 minutes.
- Return the chicken and any collected juices to the skillet and stir to coat the chicken. Cook, reducing the heat if the sauce starts thickening too much, until the chicken is cooked through, 5 to 6 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the jalapeños. Serve the chicken over the rice and top with cilantro leaves.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the brown sugar and cook, stirring constantly, until it begins to melt, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the garlic and ginger and cook, continuing to stir, for another 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in the vinegar, fish sauce and soy sauce. Bring to a low simmer and let cook for about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat.
- Use a paper towel to thoroughly pat dry the chicken. Sprinkle both sides with salt and pepper.
- Heat a large ovenproof skillet over high heat until very hot. Add the oil. Place the chicken in the skillet skin-side down and let brown without moving it for about 4 minutes. Remove the chicken to a plate and raise the heat to medium-high. Add the brown sugar mixture and use a wooden spoon to scrape up any browned bits. Return the chicken to the skillet skin-side up. Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake, basting the chicken with the sauce midway through cooking, until cooked through, about 20 minutes. For extra-crispy skin, transfer the skillet to the broiler for about 2 minutes. Serve over white rice with sauce.

Tips:
- Choose the right sugar: White sugar is the most common type of sugar used for caramelizing, but you can also use brown sugar or coconut sugar for a richer flavor.
- Use a heavy-bottomed saucepan: This will help to distribute the heat evenly and prevent the sugar from burning.
- Don't stir the sugar: Stirring the sugar will cause it to crystallize and become grainy. Instead, swirl the pan to distribute the sugar evenly.
- Be patient: Caramelizing sugar takes time. Don't rush the process or you'll end up with burnt sugar.
- Add a splash of liquid: If the sugar starts to seize up, add a splash of water or cream to help it dissolve.
- Use caramelized sugar as a topping: Caramelized sugar can be used as a topping for desserts, such as crème brûlée or ice cream.
- Use caramelized sugar as a glaze: Caramelized sugar can be used as a glaze for meats or vegetables.
- Use caramelized sugar as a sauce: Caramelized sugar can be used as a sauce for pancakes, waffles, or French toast.
Conclusion:
Caramelized sugar is a versatile ingredient that can be used in a variety of recipes. It's easy to make and adds a delicious flavor to both sweet and savory dishes. So next time you're looking for a way to add a little sweetness to your meal, try caramelizing some sugar. You won't be disappointed.
