I came across this recipe for Vietnamese Caramelized Chicken, or Ga Kho, over at Ravenous Couple. It looked scrumptious, and I actually had everything the recipe called for, so I made it.
I was a little worried at first, because of the amount of liquid, and also because said liquid was boiling sugar. Boiling sugar and me do not really get along.
But after a while, the sauce reduced as promised.
And reduced.
Until I was left with this.
Beautiful, shiny, sticky, sweet, sour, spicy. Go make this.

Hey Bob - You do. And it is.
Wow looks So good!!
Hey Dennis - It was delicious! And way less nerve-wracking than I thought it would be.
I do not want to make this - I want YOU to send me some...wow!
Hey Christo - I would, but we ate it all. Maybe next time :)
Thank you so much for your comment on my blog! I'm so glad you introduced me to your beautiful blog! This dish looks out of this world - I can just imagine the sticky caramelized wonderfulness! :-)
Hi AL - I think "sticky caramelized wonderfulness" is the perfect phrase. Thanks for visiting :)

RC - Thanks! And thanks for the great recipe :)
looks delicious! i just had vietnamese caramelized catfish at the new pho hiep grill in eastlake. they should make this chicken there!
Hey CC - I haven't tried any of the Pho Hiep's yet, maybe I'll make it down to Linda Vista soon. Catfish sounds great with this sauce.
hi - i haven't been to the linda vista location, but the one on telegraph canyon near vons (off the 805 in c.v.) is pretty good.
