Ingredients
- 1.5 lb skin-on bone-in chicken thighs
- 1 green onion finely chopped
- 2 teaspoon vegetable oil or any neutral oil
Sauce:
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon ginger thinly sliced
- ¼ cup honey or brown sugar or cane sugar
- ¼ cup water room temperature or cold
- 3 tablespoon Regular soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon dark soy sauce
- 2 teaspoon rice vinegar or substitute with Shoaxing wine
Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine sauce ingredients and mix until honey is dissolved.
- In a large pan on medium high heat (level 7 on the dial), add vegetable oil.
- Once oil is hot, add in chicken thighs skin side down and allow them to sear on each side for 2 minutes.
- Pour in the sauce (don't panic if it bubbles). Cover and simmer for 7 minutes. Reduce to low-medium heat (level 3 on the dial) or a rolling simmer.
- Flip chicken over. Cover and simmer for another 7 minutes.
- Flip chicken over so it’s skin side up. Baste the sauce over the chicken skin. Remove off heat. Note: Cooked chicken should have clear juices or should reach an internal temperature of 165 F inserted at the thickest part of the chicken with an instant-read thermometer.
- Garnish with green onions and enjoy with extra sauce served on the side.
