Braised Chicken

• 3 1/2 pounds roasting chicken Whole
• 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 tablespoon peanut oil
• 2 tablespoons dark brown sugar
• 5 tablespoons dark soy sauce
• 2/3 cup water
• 2 garlic crushed
• 1 onion small, chopped
• 1 red chili chopped

1. Thoroughly clean the chicken inside and out with damp paper towels.
2. Put the oil in a large wok or Dutch oven, add the sugar, and heat gently until the sugar caramelizes. Stir in the soy sauce. Add the chicken and turn it in the mixture to coat thoroughly on all sides.
3. Add the water, garlic, onion, and chili. Cover and simmer, turning the chicken occasionally, for about 1 hour, or until cooked through. Test by piercing a thigh with the point of a sharp knife - the juices will run clear when the chicken is cooked.
4. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside. Increase the heat and reduce the sauce in the pan until thickened. Serve sauce with chicken.
