  Cook the chicken

  Place a pot on the stove, add half of the prepared onions, ginger, lemongrass, green onions, and the remaining 5 whole chili peppers into the pot.

  Next, place the chicken into the pot and slowly drizzle the prepared dipping sauce over the chicken. After drizzling, cover the pot and cook the chicken over medium heat for about 10 minutes.

  After 10 minutes, open the lid and drizzle a little more dipping sauce over the chicken, then cover the pot again and cook for another 5 minutes.

  Every 5 minutes, open the pot and drizzle dipping sauce over the chicken. Repeat this process about 3 times.

  Finally, to check if the chicken is cooked, use a chopstick to poke the chicken. If the chopstick goes through easily, it means the chicken is tender; if not, continue cooking!
