Not sure where this came from, but it's super easy! The red pepper flakes give only the slightest touch of heat, so people who like spicy food will want to add more.

Time 50m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
4 chicken legs, drumsticks and thighs separated (2-1/2 pounds total)
4 garlic cloves, finely chopped
3/4 cup white vinegar
1/2 cup soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/4 cup sugar

Steps:

  • In a large saucepan, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add chicken, skin side down, and cook until skin is golden and crisp, about 5 minutes. Flip and cook 2 minutes more. Transfer chicken to a plate. (May need to do this in batches, depending on the size of your saucepan.).
  • Discard all but 1 tablespoon fat from pan. Add garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, 30 seconds.
  • Stir in vinegar, soy sauce, red-pepper flakes, and sugar.
  • Return chicken to pan, skin side up. Bring to a boil, cover, and reduce heat to low; cook 15 minutes (liquid should be gently simmering; adjust heat if necessary).
  • Uncover, raise heat to medium, and cook until sauce is reduced by half, at least 10 minutes.
