Dinner Tonight: Iron Pot Chicken

This recipe is great--very quick and easy to prepare and the taste is outstanding. I used 1/2 the recommended sugar and it really turned out perfect, using the whole amount recommended might be too sweet. This is one of my my successful forays into SE asian food, and will remain in my recipe book for years to come.

In regards to the fish sauce, this was my first time. I did a little web research and found a concensus amongst "those who know" more than I do and they suggested Tra Chang brand. $1.59 at local asian grocery. You can also find the Thai chilis at any asian grocer as well.

And yes, this is way more than 2 servings with 1 pound of meat. Last me about 4 servings. Give it a try.

this was very sweet - i also recommend less sugar but mine turned out very SALTY as well... i was doubling the recipe but maybe the sauce didn't need to be doubled? i could tell the flavor would have been fantastic if it wasn't so salty... gonna try to figure out what went wrong and try again!
