Ingredients
The following ingredients have 4 Servings
- 5 boneless chicken thighs
- 2 Tablespoons vegetable oil
- 8 garlic cloves peeled
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/3 cup light brown sugar (packed)
- 1/4 cup rice vinegar
- 1/2 cup low sodium chicken broth
- 1/2 cup reduced sodium soy sauce
- 2 scallions thinly sliced for garnish
Instruction
- In a large skillet heat oil over medium high heat. Season chicken with salt and cook until golden brown on each side until crisp and cooked through. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
- Add garlic cloves to skillet until golden brown about 2 minutes. Transfer to the plate of chicken.
- Return pot to medium high heat and carefully pour 1/2 cup of water scraping down the browned bits. Whisk in the brown sugar until dissolved. Then cook until mixture turns a deep amber color. About 4 minutes. Carefully add vinegar and stir to dissolve.
- Add garlic, broth and soy sauce. Bring cooking liquid to a boil and whisk occasionally. This takes about 10 minutes. Be patient. The sauce will thicken and glaze the chicken beautifully.
- Once glaze is ready, turn heat to medium low and return chicken to pan until heated through. Serve over rice and garnish with scallions or green onions if desired.
