Combine soy sauce, sugar, water, garlic, ginger, and red pepper flakes in a high-sided saute pan over medium heat and stir until sugar is dissolved.
As soon as the sugar is dissolved, place the chicken in the pan. The chicken can be touching but don't over-crowd the pan.
Heat until the sauce comes to a boil and then reduce heat to a simmer.
Simmer uncovered for 35 to 40 minutes, turning the chicken over halfway through. The sauce should thicken and reduce as it is cooking.
Remove from heat. Allow chicken to rest for 2 to 3 minutes before serving. Serve with remaining sauce (sauce will thicken more upon cooling).
