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.
