  • 6 chicken drumsticks or bone-in skin-on chicken thighs
  • 3.5 cups yukon gold potatoes peeled and chopped
  • 1 medium carrot peeled and chopped
  • 1 small onion chopped
  • 3 cups water or chicken/beef/vegetable stock
  • 2 green onion chopped
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil or any neutral oil

Sauce:

Instructions
 

  • In a small bowl, combine sauce ingredients. Set aside.
  • In a large pot over medium high heat, add cooking oil followed by onions. Fry until translucent.
  • Next add chicken drumsticks and allow them to brown a bit on each side.
  • Throw in peeled and chopped potatoes and carrots, let them fry for a couple of minutes.
  • Add sauce, followed by water or stock. Mix everything together. Bring to a boil and then reduce to medium heat. Simmer for 20 - 25 minutes covered, or until potatoes are fork tender, stirring occasionally. If you want a very thick stew sauce, remove the lid and simmer over medium heat for the same time, stirring occasionally.
  • Remove off heat. Garnish with green onions. Enjoy!
