- Place chicken on a plate. Sprinkle on the spring onion, coriander, garlic, onion, salt and pepper. Cover and marinate for 30 minutes.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a deep pan over medium heat. Stir in the sugar and cook until the sugar has melted into a nice golden brown syrup. Add the chicken pieces and brown quickly while turning continuously. Cover the pan and let it cook for 2 minutes.

I added broad leaf thyme and left out the cilantro. I grew up in Couva Trinidad, my mother would cook this for my sister and I. Someone on the comments mentioned it tasting like burnt sugar, well forget cooking take up knitting instead - 11 Dec 2017
