How to cook it
-
Whisk the brown sugar, soy sauce, minced garlic, and black pepper into a marinade.
-
Toss the chicken through the marinade and refrigerate at least 1 hour, or up to overnight.
-
Heat the oil in a skillet over medium and cook the chicken with the water until the liquid reduces and the chicken caramelizes, about 10 minutes, turning occasionally.
-
Continue cooking until glossy and lightly charred at the edges, about 5 minutes more.

Serve hot.

When to cook it
Chicken Tocino takes about 35 minutes from a cold stove to the table, and the cooking itself is a fair bit of work. It is eaten at breakfast. Nothing in the calendar rules it out, so it is a year round dish.
