Step 1

Rinse and clean the chicken. Pat dry and set aside.

Step 2

In a large pan over medium heat, add the sugar and oil. Keep stirring it until the sugar melts and starts to caramelize.

Step 3

Once it turns a deep golden color, add the chicken and stir until the chicken is lightly coated with the caramel.

Step 4

Add the fish sauce and ginger. Turn the heat up to medium-high and stir to saute the ginger.

Step 5

Once the ginger is fragrant (about 2 minutes), add ¼ cup water. Stir to mix. Bring to a boil and then place the lid on the pan to cover.

Step 6

Turn the heat to low and cook for another 10-15 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through.

Step 7

Remove the lid and turn the heat back up to medium. Stir to mix and cook off any excess liquid until there's a little liquid left. You just want enough "sauce" to drizzle over rice.

Step 8

Eat and enjoy!
