🇰🇷 Korean

Time does the work here: chicken melts into a glossy braising liquid after a long, gentle simmer. About 70 minutes from fridge to table.

Sesame Oil2 tbsp
Stock or Broth500 ml

Instructions

1
Brown the chicken deeply in the Sesame Oil in a heavy pot — patience here pays off later.
2
Remove it, then let the garlic and ginger soften in the drippings with the gochugaru.
3
Return the chicken, add the stock and bay leaves, and bring to the gentlest simmer.
4
Cover and braise low and slow until the chicken yields to a spoon, about 45 minutes.
5
Skim the fat, reduce the sauce to a glaze, and serve with something starchy to catch every drop.

Chef's tip

Skim the fat from the surface before the final reduction for a cleaner sauce.
