I used half the ketchup and twice the soy sauce. It could use just a tad less vinegar. Reminded me of take out cheap Chinese …. In a good way. Give it a while to cook so the meat falls off the bone! Perfect for chicken legs.
Made this tonight with chicken legs; used dry sherry and sherry vinegar as it’s what I had on hand. Ended up braising the chicken in the sauce for quite a while so it would be cooked all the way through. Family liked it, served with rice and a peanut sauce slaw/salad.
