- This dish encapsulates some of my favourite aspects of South East Asian cuisine, that heady combination of salty, sweet, sour, spicy and bitter ingredients brought to life in the form of caramel roast chicken rich in a fish sauce caramel, served alongside a vibrant herb laden fresh cabbage salad with plenty of bite.
You'll need:
US Ingredients:
3 tbsp dark brown sugar
8 small chicken thighs, skin on, bone in, trimmed of excess fat
6 garlic cloves, finely sliced
1 thumb sized piece of ginger, julienned
1 red chilli, finely sliced
3 tbsp fish sauce
2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
Coriander leaves and thinly sliced spring onion, to serve
For the Vietnamese salad:
Juice of 1 lime
3 tbsp fish sauce
1 tsp dark brown sugar
½ head savoy cabbage, thinly sliced on mandolin
1cup bean sprouts
6 spring onions, finely sliced
1 red chilli
Small bunch each of coriander, thai basil & mint, leaves picked
1 cup of roasted peanuts, crushed in a pestle and mortar

That dressing is also delicious with green papaya !! Thanks for sharing your recipe. I love how you didn’t shy from utilizing fish sauce. That’s like the key ingredient for Vietnamese cooking !!!
My daughter and I are eating this right now. And if have to tell you that this is the best food we have eaten in quite a while. It is delicious. Thanks Donal!

Delicious
I have all the ingredients for this! Will make this tonight. Thank you! Have been loving your recipes. They are so approachable, not super time-consuming, and fun. Your videos are beautiful too! I’m a huge fan!
I love fish sauce it gives dishes this great umami flavor, people are usually afraid of it, glad you are using it. The colors of the dish looks really great.
Yup, I think the fact its called fish sauce puts people off but it adds so much here!
Wow delicious 👌🏻
Thank you for sharing your recipe!!!
Beautiful video!!!
Amazing channel 👍🏻👌🏻🙌🏻
Liked and subscribed!!!
Looks so good... Wanna try this
Hey man! Just wanna say I made your roasted tomato soup last night and it was a HIT with my family! Thanks again, I subscribed,! Can’t wIt to make more of your food.
thanks man!
The rich aroma and five flavors are very appetizing.Looks very delicious! I want to eat!
Well I followed your recipe to the very minimal details and WOOOW! That's sooooo delicious, I swear it is a must try!
I am salivating!! Thanks for the yummy recipes!!
Awesome recipe to spice up your everyday salad !
Beautiful looking meal, Donal! I would cook down the sauce a bit more on the stove to make it thicker and coat the chicken better. The salad would be prettier with matchsticked carrots and definitely needs mint. Some fried shallots would take it over the top. :) I love that you used your mortar and pestle for the peanuts...that's what my mom made me use to crush our roasted peanuts growing up.
Made this tonight with my husband. We absolutely loved it! My husband even ate the slaw (it has veggies he doesn't like)! Thank you for this recipe we needed more we could agree and compromise on!❤🤗
so glad to hear you enjoyed - i love this one!

SAME
Looks delicious! Tomorrow’s lunch sorted!
Yum looks delicious i am making this soon with few subs drooling over my samsung galaxy note 8 love your recipes making me hungry Thanks Ramya
I’m dying to try it!!!
This looks so good. Can you make this with chicken breast instead? My husband hates chicken bones? I’ve told him I’m going to make it this weekend. Can’t wait. 😊
Some supermarkets sell boneless/skinless chicken thighs.
Looks yummy. I’m a Vietnamese and guess u took an adaptation of the ginger flavored braised chicken “gà kho gừng”.
More specifically the southern version of the dish as they don't use the caramel sauce in the north ( northern people don't like their food sweet).
Making this one next week! Would you serve it w/ rice on the side?
Take love from Bangladesh
We're in the middle our 2nd lockdown here in France but as soon as I can go shopping for ginger, fish sauce, the sprouts and coriander I'll certainly try yr recipe. I'd love to be able to somehow adapt the deliciousness of this recipe for making it with tofu or seitan. Any suggestions would be helpful. Merci from the country side not too far from Paris.
What can I use instead of fishsoss ? Greetings from Germany
I hate to be that person but we Vietnamese usually eat this dish with rice and chopsticks (if you can’t use them, that’s fine). And the meal usually ends with some kind of soup.
Good job with the caramelized chicken though (it looks exactly like the chicken that my mom makes).
You could cook a bin-liner and it will taste good!:-) I've recently discovered your channel; it's simple and delicious!
I'm all about simple and delicious... wonder what TH-cam would have to say about bin liner meals.... 🤣
Many blessings :)
Early squad! Hi Donal. Watching while on a cold night here in Manila because of typhoon.
Love from India ❤
I think I'll try it with tofu instead of chicken and a vegan fish sauce substitute. Yum!
Yummy 😄😄😄😄😄😄
I appreciate the US measurements!!
glad to hear it! enjoy 🇺🇸
😋😋😋
Could you use red cabbage?
Would love to make this but is there any sub for the fish sauce? :) love your videos Donal!!!
Have a beautiful day everyone
Sending lots of love❤😊
😋español por favor se ve delicioso saludos desde Bolivia CHEF

Kayak ayam kuah mpek2
Look at you with grey hair looking good
why thank you Angela 😅
🌈💛💚🙏Stay Safe🙏💛💚🌈
Can you serve the chicken over some rice?
Of courseee!
No its not allowed and the Police will be called should anybody try to serve over rice.
@@FeedMyPostBox hahahah! yes sticky rice would be awesome with it !
Where’d the carbs?!
some rice would go along very well with this!
Love the cooking man. Cook Hainanese chicken rice tasted so good with corn fed chicken and home made chilli sauce and spring onion and ginger sauce. 😋
Recipe here: th-cam.com/video/nll65OoyoXo/w-d-xo.html
Everytime I watch your channel I wonder who will get the leftovers ? The man behind the camera?
Dearest Donal,
Thank you for placating the Hangry Demon that resides inside me.
Yours Sincerely,
“He always comments on my stuff.”
hahahaha! yes and thank you for always commenting!
@@donalskehan Sending love to your loved ones and you! Happy Diwali!
Did anyone notice the old title of the video ? 😂
oops!
@@donalskehan lol
i'm sure your dish is tasty - it also seems unlikely to be Vietnamese. The closest approximation to your dish is something called (Ga Nuong) - and that requires grilling, and is far far drier. maybe call it lemongrass and herb chicken inspired by Vietnamese cooking or something similar? Certainly haven't seen anything quite so sticky in Vietnam. That dish is closer to Cantonese cooking.
I’m Vietnamese and there is such a dish. It’s one of favourite but I make on the stove rather than the oven and served with just Asian greens.
maybe not as sticky but ingredient wise, it's pretty close to a dish my mom cooks. I'd say he did a pretty good job. (am from canto-vietnamese descent)
What do you do that does not include animal products of eggs, meat cheese and butter, some outstanding vegetarian recipes or plant based recipes would be great. Offering up this same recipe without meat and using maybe seared tofu might be an alterative.
Why do you use knife to remove ginger skin? Use spoon....sheeshh
That is nothing like a Vietnamese salad. Chucking fish sauce into to your cornflakes doesn't make a Vietnamese breakfast!
First!
That fish sauce is too much!!!
