How to Make Vietnamese Caramelized Chicken Marinade
- In a medium bowl, whisk together all marinade ingredients: fish sauce, brown sugar, soy sauce, rice vinegar, garlic, and black pepper.
- Add chicken (or pork) to the marinade, ensuring it's fully coated. Marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight in the refrigerator for maximum flavor.
- Preheat grill to medium-high heat or prepare your stir-fry pan over medium-high heat.
- If grilling, place chicken (or pork) on the preheated grill and cook for about 6-8 minutes per side, or until cooked through. Baste with remaining marinade during cooking.
- If stir-frying, add the marinated chicken (or pork) to the hot pan and cook, stirring occasionally, until cooked through (about 8-10 minutes). Add a tablespoon of water to deglaze the pan and create a richer sauce if desired.
- Serve immediately and enjoy! Garnish with fresh cilantro or chopped green onions, if desired.
