| 2 pounds skin-on, bone-in chicken thighs (about 4 pieces) | |
| 1/2 cup shoyu | |
| 1/2 cup sugar | |
| 1/2 cup water | |
| 2 tablespoons rice vinegar | |
| 3 garlic cloves, smashed | |
| 1 2-inch knob of ginger, peeled and sliced | |
| 2 stalks green onions (optional) | |
| 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional) |
Steps:
| Over medium-high heat, brown chicken (skin-side down) in a saucepan. Brown for 5 minutes, until the skin is a deep golden color. | |
| Mix together in a bowl: shoyu, sugar, water, and rice vinegar. Pour the liquid mixture over the chicken in the sauce pan. | |
| Add in the smashed garlic and sliced ginger. Bring mixture to a boil, then turn back down to low heat. Put on a lid and let the chicken simmer (skin side up) for 10 minutes. | |
| Lift the lid. Turn the chicken skin-side down, and simmer for another 10 minutes. Remove chicken onto a plate. Reduce the sauce over medium heat until thick (like the thickness of honey). | |
| Serve the chicken over a big bowl of rice. Finish with chopped green onions, a sprinkle of sesame seeds, and drizzle on the sauce. It's onolicious ^_^ |
