Instructions

  1. In a bowl, combine chicken thighs with Vietnamese five-spice powder, oyster sauce, soy sauce, fish sauce, and sugar. Let the chicken marinate for 20-30 minutes at room temperature or refrigerate overnight for the best flavor infusion.
  2. In a skillet, briefly fry the chicken upside down until the skin achieves a golden color. No need to fully cook the chicken at this stage. Avoid burning the chicken skin.
  3. Once done, use a kitchen paper to absorb any excess oil, leaving 1 tbsp in the skillet.
  4. Set the chicken aside and sauté the minced garlic and minced shallots in the remaining oil until they become fragrant.
  5. Pour the coconut water into the skillet, filling it up to about half the height of the chicken. Allow the chicken to simmer in the sauce over medium heat until the sauce thickens and forms a glossy glaze. Flip the chicken occasionally to ensure it is thoroughly coated in the sauce.
  6. Serve the Ga Roti alongside steamed rice or sticky rice for a delightful and satisfying meal.
