Ingredients
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 2 lb skinless chicken thighs or chicken drumsticks
- 1/2 cup chicken stock

Preparation
In shallow Dutch oven, heat oil over medium-high heat; brown chicken, in batches if necessary. Spoon off fat.
Add stock, soy sauce, sugar, two-thirds of the onions, the garlic, ginger, cinnamon, cloves and pepper; bring to boil. Cover and simmer over medium-low heat for 25 minutes or until juices run clear when chicken is pierced.
