Sprinkle about 1/3 c. sugar over oil and heat over med/high heat till sugar starts to

Drain oil from skillet, leaving any browned coating in pan. Add chicken back to skillet and pour in about 1/2" hot water. Cover and bake at 350 degrees 30-45 min. When done remove chicken to serving dish and pour pan juices over hot cooked rice.

*** There really is no "official" recipe for this dish. I learned to make it from watching others. I use boneless, skinless thighs because they have a good flavor for cooking and are moist when done. ***
