Ingredients

Main Ingredients:

  • 4 chicken thighs (bone-in, skin-on)
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon ginger, minced
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch (optional, for thickening)

Additional Ingredients:

  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 2 cups jasmine rice
  • 4 cups water
  • Chopped green onions, for garnish
  • Fresh cilantro, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prep the Chicken: Start by patting the chicken thighs dry with paper towels. Season them with salt and pepper on both sides.
  2. Heat the Oil: In a large pot or deep skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
  3. Sear the Chicken: Place the seasoned chicken thighs skin-side down in the hot oil. Cook for 5-7 minutes without moving them, until the skin is golden and crispy.
  4. Make the Sauce: Flip the chicken and add soy sauce, brown sugar, minced garlic, and minced ginger directly into the pot. Stir to combine the ingredients.
  5. Add Chicken Broth: Pour the chicken broth into the pot, ensuring the chicken is submerged. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
  6. Simmer: Reduce the heat to low and allow the chicken to simmer for about 20 minutes, covered, until fully cooked and tender.
  7. Cook the Rice: While the chicken simmers, rinse the jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear.
  8. Prepare the Rice: In a separate pot, combine 2 cups of rinsed rice and 4 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce the heat to low. Cook for 15-20 minutes until the rice is fluffy and water is absorbed.
  9. Thicken the Broth (Optional): If you prefer a thicker broth, mix the cornstarch in a small bowl with a little water to form a slurry. Stir this into the broth and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until thickened.
  10. Garnish and Serve: Once the chicken is done cooking, remove it from the pot and place it on a cutting board. Slice the chicken once slightly cooled. Serve the chicken over the rice, ladling the garlic ginger broth over the top. Garnish with chopped green onions and fresh cilantro for an extra touch.
