Ingredients

    • 1/3 cup soy sauce
    • 2 tablespoons dark-brown sugar
    • 5 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
    • 2/3 cup fresh cilantro, chopped, plus sprigs for garnish
    • 1 piece fresh ginger (about 2 inches long), peeled and cut into thin strips
    • 5 scallions, thinly sliced on the diagonal (1 cup packed)
    • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
    • 1 teaspoon ground coriander
    • 1/2 teaspoon ground pepper
    • 4 chicken drumsticks and 4 thighs (about 2 1/2 pounds total), skin removed
    • 2 medium carrots, thinly sliced crosswise

  • For Serving

    • cooked white rice

Directions

  1. In a 5- to 6-quart slow cooker, stir together soy sauce, sugar, garlic, cilantro, ginger, 1/2 cup scallions, vinegar, coriander, and pepper. Add chicken and carrots; toss to coat. Cover, and cook on low until chicken is tender, about 6 hours. Using a large spoon, skim off and discard any fat from surface of cooking liquid.

Pour into a small saucepan, and bring to a boil; cook until thickened, about 1 minute. With slow cooker turned off, stir in cornstarch mixture. Serve chicken with white rice, and garnish with cilantro sprigs and remaining 1/2 cup scallions.
