How to Make

  • Step 1: Make marinade: Combine 6 garlic cloves, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, black bean sauce, 2 tablespoons fish sauce, sherry, 1 tablespoon brown sugar and 1/2 teaspoon cayenne together in plastic bag, making sure the sugar is dissolved.

  • Step 2: Add chicken pieces and marinate for at least 3 hours or overnight.

  • Step 3: Make dipping sauce: Place rice vinegar, 1/3 cup brown sugar, 3 cloves garlic, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 1 tablespoon fish sauce and 1/4 teaspoon cayenne together in a saucepan and bring to a boil, while stirring.

  • Step 4: Reduce to low heat and simmer for about ten to fifteen minutes stirring frequently until thickened and the vinegary smell has dissipated; cover and set aside.

  • Step 5: Oven Method: Preheat oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit.

  • Step 6: Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil and coat with non-stick spray.

  • Step 7: Remove chicken from marinade and place on baking sheet, skin side down.

  • Step 8: Place in oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes (depending on how thick the pieces are), or until chicken is cooked through, turning after 10 minutes to prevent sticking.

  • Step 9: Turn oven on broil for 2 to 3 minutes to crisp the skin; rmove from oven and serve with dipping sauce.

  • Step 10: Actifry Method: Pour contents of marinade bag into the actifry.

  • Step 11: Cook until chicken is cooked through, about 15 to 17 minutes, depending on size of chicken pieces; remove from actifry and serve with dipping sauce.
