This dish, one of the few that my mother made using the oven, was one of my childhood favourites. The recipe is pure simplicity. Chicken thighs and drumsticks are piled into a baking dish, then covered with a ridiculous amount of onions as well as a sauce made with soy, tomatoes, and garlic. The whole thing is tightly covered with foil and baked until done. The result was fall-off-the-bone chicken, with a jammy onion and tomato sauce that had hints of barbecue. For my version, I ran with the barbecue idea and made my own sweet and tangy sauce. I also pre-broiled my chicken, for two reasons. First, it browned the meat and skin, which added flavour. Second, it rendered a lot of the fat out ahead of time. I love my mom's chicken, but her sauce always had a pool of grease floating on top. Pre-broiling prevents that. Less fat, more delicious sauce to coat ridiculously tender chicken. Awesome.
