Description
Caramelized Soy Chicken with Garlic Ginger Broth is a flavorful dish featuring tender chicken thighs marinated in a savory sauce and served over a warm broth.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pounds chicken thighs, bone-in and skin-on
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 green onions, sliced (for garnish)
- Sesame seeds (for garnish)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine soy sauce, brown sugar, vegetable oil, minced garlic, minced ginger, rice vinegar, and black pepper. Whisk until the sugar is dissolved.
- Add the chicken thighs to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.
- In a large pot, heat the chicken broth over medium heat. Once it begins to simmer, reduce the heat to low and keep warm.
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the marinated chicken thighs, skin side down. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until the skin is golden brown and crispy.
- Flip the chicken thighs and pour the remaining marinade over them. Reduce the heat to medium, cover, and cook for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
- Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes. Meanwhile, increase the heat to high and let the sauce simmer for a few minutes until it thickens slightly.
- Serve the chicken thighs over a bowl of warm chicken broth, drizzled with the thickened sauce. Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds.
Notes
- For a spicier kick, add 1 teaspoon of red pepper flakes to the marinade.
- Substitute chicken thighs with chicken breasts for a leaner option, but adjust cooking time as breasts may cook faster.
