Ingredients
  

  • 4 chicken thighs skin-on, bone-in
  • 1/3 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 4 cloves fresh garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger minced
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 2 cups cooked rice jasmine or basmati
  • 2 tablespoons neutral oil vegetable or canola
  • 2 green onions chopped, optional, for garnish

Method
 

  1. Season chicken thighs with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Sear chicken thighs skin-side down until golden and crisp.
