Step by Step Method

Step 1

In a large high-sided skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of oil over medium-high. Season chicken with salt and pepper. Working in two batches add chicken to skillet. Sear, turning to brown all over, about 2 minutes per side. Remove to a plate. Pour the oil out of the skillet and discard.

Step 2

Return skillet to medium. Add remaining 2 tablespoons oil, shallots, garlic, and ginger; cook, stirring, until softened, about 1 minute.

Step 3

Pour ¼ cup stock in the pan and add brown sugar. Boil, stirring frequently, until deep golden in color, about 5 minutes.

Step 4

Carefully and slowly, pour the remaining ¾ cup of stock into the skillet. Stir in the vinegar, fish sauce, and pomegranate molasses. Bring to a boil, and return chicken to skillet, skin side down. Reduce to a simmer, and cook for 10 minutes. Turn chicken and continue to cook, basting occasionally, until the sauce thickens and the chicken is cooked through, about 10 minutes more.

Step 5

Transfer chicken to a platter, drizzle sauce over, and top with jalapeno, pomegranate arils, and cilantro.

Fabulous! The sauce is so delicious. I'm tucking this into my Best of 2023 file. So good and easy. I made my own pomegranate molasses since I couldn't find any in the store. It was super easy but glad I made it the day before to free up time. Thank you!

OMG - can I give this 100 stars? DH says this one was an "A+", and he's right. I only made four thighs (about 2 1/4 lbs) but made all the sauce. Wish I had doubled it, as the shallots, garlic and ginger caramelized into the most delicious topping. And the sauce - oh - the sauce! I almost didn't make this, as pomegranates are out of season and had a hard time finding one. Finally did at our Mediterranean market, and paid a fine $7 for it. But believe me, it was worth it! Thanks for sharing. Straight into my Best of 2022 file for me.

Delicious chicken. We only used 6 thighs and skipped the jalapeño but we really enjoyed this chicken. Served with rice. Thanks for sharing!

We all really loved this dish. It was very easy to make with some hard to find ingredients but worth it. I had been interested in pomegranate molasses and it definitely really added something wonderful to the sauce. Our sauce never really thickened but it was really delicious.
