Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (about 6-8 ounces each)
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 3 cloves garlic, finely minced
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar, packed
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Thinly sliced green onions for garnish
  • Instructions

  • Make the marinade: In a bowl, combine the soy sauce, brown sugar, minced garlic, rice vinegar, grated ginger, and water. Stir until the sugar dissolves.
  • Marinate the chicken: Place the chicken thighs in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over, turning to coat every piece well. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, preferably 2 hours or overnight.
  • Prepare your pan: Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat until hot before adding chicken.
  • Cook the chicken: Shake off excess marinade and place chicken skin-side down in the pan. Cook for 6-7 minutes without moving to crisp the skin.
  • Flip and cook through: Turn thighs over and pour remaining marinade around the chicken. Lower heat to medium-low, cover with a lid, and simmer for 10-12 minutes.
  • Finish with a glaze: Remove lid, raise heat to medium-high, and reduce sauce for 2-3 minutes while spooning it over chicken skin.
  • Serve: Garnish with thinly sliced green onions and serve hot with steamed rice or vegetables.
