1 lb. of chicken pieces still on the bone

1/2 cup brown sugar (you can substitute white, but brown sugar gives it great color and depth of flavor)

1/2 cup soy sauce

1/2 cup water

1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger (or 1 tsp. ground ginger)

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon oyster sauce

 

In a large saucepan combine sugar, water, soy sauce, grated ginger, garlic and oyster sauce. Mix well, and then add the cleaned chicken pieces (if you use larger pieces, like chicken-breast in bone, you will want to increase the cook time by a few minutes to make sure the chicken is cooked through).

Heat on high until it boils. Reduce heat to medium and let simmer for 30 minutes covered. Remove from heat and serve
