Recipe 🍳

Lightly oil a dry pan and place the cleaned, blood-removed chicken drumettes evenly to start searing.
Flip the drumettes occasionally until the skin and surface are golden brown all over and the oil is rendered, cooking thoroughly.
Once the surface is cooked, add water, mirin, Worcestershire sauce, tonkatsu sauce, sugar, and soy sauce in order, stirring to combine.
Add the boiled quail eggs and whole Vietnamese chili peppers for a clean spiciness, letting them meld with the sauce.
Simmer until the braising sauce reduces and thickens, coating the drumettes with a glossy, appetizing brown sheen.

Place chicken drumettes in a hot oiled pan and brown on all sides thoroughly.
Pour in the braising base mixture of water, mirin, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and tonkatsu sauce.
Add quail eggs and spicy Vietnamese peppers, then simmer until the liquid reduces and becomes sticky.

Cooking tips 💡

To ensure chewy chicken skin and no gamey smell, sear the drumettes thoroughly in oil before adding the braising liquid.
Mixing Worcestershire sauce and tonkatsu sauce into a regular soy sauce braise adds a Western-style deep acidity and umami, creating a unique dish.
