Instructions

  1. Pour water into a pot over a medium heat. Toss in the garlic, coriander root, lemongrass, and galangal. Close the lid and gradually let it come to a boil.
  2. As it bubbles, add fish sauce, light and dark soy sauces, white pepper, and palm sugar. Give it a stir, ensuring the sugar dissolves completely.
  3. Once your broth is boiling again, arrange the chicken thighs in a single layer. They should be just over half-submerged in the liquid. Seal with the lid.
  4. Switch the heat to low and let the chicken simmer slowly for 45 minutes. Halfway through, give it a flip.
  5. After simmering, let the chicken thighs rest for several minutes, allowing the meat to soak up the juices. Serve chicken with rice.

Notes

  • Use the nutrition card in this recipe as a guideline.
  • Serve with rice and a dipping sauce like sweet chili sauce.
  • Skin-on and bone-in chicken thighs deliver the best results.
  • Place the chicken in a single layer to make sure all pieces cook evenly. Flip halfway through.
  • Use the leftover chicken broth to flavor your rice or other dishes.
