Instructions

  1. In a large skillet on medium-high heat, add butter and oil. Once the butter and oil are hot, brown the chicken thighs and drumsticks. Once browned, remove and set aside.
  2. In the same skillet, add the apple cider vinegar, fish sauce, lemon juice, brown sugar, honey, garlic, and half of the sliced jalapeños, to create the sauce.
  3. Bring the sauce to a boil. Then add the chicken back into the skillet, and lower the heat to a simmer. Let this chicken simmer in the sauce, covered, for thirty minutes or until cooked.
  4. After thirty minutes, mix cornstarch with ¼ cup water, pour into sauce, stir to combine, let simmer for a minute or two until sauce begins to thicken. Plate the chicken with sauce and remaining jalapeño slices.
