Clay Pot Ginger Chicken

 
Clay Pot Ginger Chicken
claypot.jpg
From Food and Wine Magazine, March 2005. We tried this recipe and found it easy to make (about 30 minutes).  The caramel added a nice sweet dimension along with the onion wedges. The chicken was tender and the ginger and chiles contributed a nice amount of spice.

Add the onion wedges, the remaining 1/4 cup of hot water and the caramel sauce and bring to a boil.  cover, reduce the heat to low and simmer until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce is slightly thickened, about 8 minutes.  Ad the scallions and cook for 3 minutes longer.  Stir in the remaining ginger and remove the pot from the heat.  Garnish with the cilantro and serve.
