Place heavy pot on medium heat.

Step 7

Allow the sugar to melt and become frothy.

Step 8

Stir the frothy sugar until it becomes smokey and dark.

Step 9

Add in the seasoned chicken.

Step 10

Mix thoroughly to coat the chicken in the browning sugar and to stop the sugar from caramelizing further.

After 10 minutes, remove the cover and allow the natural juices from the chicken to boil off (this can take another 10 mins).

Step 13
