Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat vegetable oil in a large pot over medium-high heat until shimmering.
  3. Sear the chicken thighs skin-side down for about 5-7 minutes until golden brown.
  4. Flip the chicken and add soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, and ginger. Stir to coat evenly.
  5. Pour in the chicken broth, ensuring the chicken is mostly submerged. Bring to a gentle boil.
  6. Reduce heat to low, cover, and let simmer for about 20 minutes until chicken is tender.

  8. If desired, mix cornstarch with water and stir into the broth for thickening in the last 2-3 minutes.
  9. Slice the chicken and serve it over jasmine rice, ladling the broth on top and garnishing.
