Ingredients
- 6 chicken drumsticks or bone-in skin-on chicken thighs
- 3.5 cups yukon gold potatoes or yellow potatoes, chopped into quarters
- 1 medium carrot chopped into ½-inch-thick pieces
- 1 small onion chopped
- 3 cups water cold or room temp
- 2 green onion finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil or any neutral oil
Sauce
- 2 tablespoon regular soy sauce or light soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon dark soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce or vegetarian stir fry sauce
- 1 tablespoon white granulated sugar or cane sugar
- 3 garlic cloves minced
- ½ tablespoon sesame oil
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine sauce ingredients as listed above and set aside.
- Heat vegetable oil in a large pan or large pot on medium-high heat. Cook onions until slightly softened, about 1 minute.
- Next add in the chicken drumsticks and let them brown on each side. Avoid moving them around so they can properly sear.
- Mix in chopped potatoes and carrots. Cook for 1-2 minutes.
- Add in the sauce, followed by water. Mix everything together.
- Cover and bring to a boil and reduce to medium heat. Simmer for 20 - 25 minutes stirring occasionally, until chicken is cooked and potatoes are fork tender. (If you want a thicker sauce, remove the lid and simmer for another 5 minutes or until desired consistency).
- Remove off heat and garnish with green onions. Enjoy!
