Como fazer Chinese Red Cooked Chicken Thighs

In a Dutch oven, combine 1/4 cup dry sherry, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 1/2 cup soy sauce, 1/2 cup water, 1 teaspoon crushed fennel seeds, 2 tablespoons grated fresh ginger, 1 tablespoon orange zest (strips of rind), and 2 cinnamon sticks. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
Reduce heat to low, cover partially, and simmer for 10 minutes to meld the flavors.
Add 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs to the Dutch oven. Partially cover and simmer for 45 minutes, turning the thighs occasionally, until cooked through and tender.
Remove the cinnamon sticks and orange zest using tongs or a slotted spoon. Discard.
Prepare bean threads (cellophane noodles): In a heatproof bowl, pour 1 cup boiling water over 4 oz dried bean threads. Let stand for 5 minutes, or until softened. Drain thoroughly.
Serve the delicious red-cooked chicken thighs over the bean threads or your favorite noodles. Garnish with chopped green onions (optional).
