3 pounds lean chicken legs and thighs, skinned

3 T vegetable oil

5 cloves garlic, crushed

1 tsp. ginger, minced

2 large onions, quartered and peeled

4 carrots, peeled and cut into chunks

4 potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks

SAUCE 1 tsp. red pepper flakes (original recipe called for 1 T., but I find that too hot)

1/2 cup soy sauce

2 T vermouth

2 T sugar

4 T lemon juice

2 cups chicken broth

Skin the legs and thighs. Boil skinless legs and thighs in a large soup pot for 15 minutes. Drain and rinse the chicken. Return the chicken to the pot and stir fry with the garlic and ginger for 1-2 minutes. Add the sauce ingredients, including the chicken broth. Add the cut-up carrots, potatoes and onions. Simmer for 25-30 minutes. Serve with rice.
