Ingredients
- 2-3 pounds chicken thighs
- 1 cup soy sauce (aka shoyu)
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 tablespoon garlic (crushed or minced)
- 2 teaspoons grated fresh ginger
- red pepper flakes (to taste)
Instructions
- 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 sugar is dissolved, place 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 35-40 minutes, turning the chicken over half-way through. The sauce should thicken and reduce as it is cooking.
- Remove from heat. Allow chicken to rest 2-3 minutes before serving. Serve with remaining sauce (sauce will thicken more upon cooling).
