Ingredients

¾ cup dark brown sugar
⅓ cup rice vinegar
⅓ cup cold water
⅓ cup fish sauce
1 tablespoon soy sauce
4 cloves garlic, crushed
1 tablespoon fresh grated ginger
1 ½ teaspoons crushed red pepper
1 teaspoon vegetable oil
5 boneless, skinless chicken thighs, quartered
½ cup chopped green onions

Steps:

Whisk dark brown sugar, rice vinegar, water, fish sauce, soy sauce, garlic, ginger, and crushed red pepper together in a bowl until sugar is completely dissolved.
Heat oil in a skillet over high heat. Add chicken; cook until skin is golden brown, about 5 minutes. Pour in 1/2 cup of the brown sugar mixture. Cook and stir until sauce is thickened, about 5 minutes more.
Pour in remaining sauce; cook until the juices run clear, 10 to 12 minutes. An instant-read thermometer should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Top with green onions.
