For a richer flavor, use bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs. The bones add depth to the broth, and the skin adds richness. Adjust the amount of jalapenos to your preferred spice level. For a milder dish, remove the seeds and membranes from the jalapenos before slicing. If you don't have brown sugar, you can substitute with an equal amount of white sugar, but the brown sugar adds a nice molasses note. Serve Dakjjim hot over steamed white rice, garnished with chopped green onions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds.

Follow The Directions
01
Step
20 mins
In a large bowl, whisk together the chopped onion, soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, sesame oil, and black pepper to create the marinade. Add the chicken thighs, ensuring each piece is well-coated. Allow the chicken to marinate for at least 20 minutes, or up to a few hours in the refrigerator for a deeper flavor. (Marinate: 20+ minutes)
02
Step
10 mins
Spread the onion rings evenly across the bottom of a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven. Arrange the marinated chicken thighs on top of the onion rings, along with some of the marinade. Pour in enough water to reach halfway up the sides of the chicken. (Prep: 10 minutes)
03
Step
1 hrs 30 mins
Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to medium-low, cover the pot, and simmer gently until the chicken thighs are fork-tender and cooked through. This should take approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes. (Cook: 1 hour 30 minutes)
04
Step
30 mins
Add the carrot chunks and jalapeno pepper slices to the pot. Continue to simmer, covered, until the carrots are tender, about 30 minutes more. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking and prevent sticking. (Cook: 30 minutes)
