Ingredients
Directions
Step 1
In a large pot or Dutch oven, combine the soy sauce, brown sugar, water, ginger, garlic, and black pepper. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring until the sugar has dissolved.
Step 2
Add the chicken thighs to the pot, skin-side down. Ensure the chicken is mostly submerged in the liquid.
Step 3
Cover and simmer over medium-low heat for 45 minutes.
Step 4
Turn the chicken pieces over and continue to simmer, uncovered, for another 30-40 minutes until the sauce has thickened and the chicken is tender.
Step 5
Serve hot over steamed white rice, garnished with green onions if desired.
