Ingredients

1kg chicken thighs, bone in, skinless
1 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp fish sauce
1 tbsp rice wine vinegar
2 tbsp ketjap manis
2 tbsp agave syrup
2 green chillies, sliced
thumb-sized piece ginger, grated

2 tsp toasted sesame seeds
large handful coriander
3 spring onions, shredded

Method

Put the chicken, soy and fish sauces, vinegar, ketjap manis, agave, chillies, ginger and garlic into a slow cooker and cook on high for 3 hrs.
Alternatively, place all the ingredients in a casserole with a scrunched up piece of wet greaseproof paper inside the lid and cook in the oven on its lowest setting for 3 hrs.
Just before serving, remove the chicken from the bones and loosely pull apart.
Garnish the chicken and gravy with sesame seeds, coriander and spring onion, and serve with sticky rice.
