Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 tablespoons rice vinegar, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 3 minced garlic cloves, and 1 tablespoon grated ginger until the sugar dissolves.
  2. Step 2: Place 2 pounds bone-in skin-on chicken thighs in a large oven-safe pot. Pour the sauce over the chicken, making sure to coat evenly. Add 1 cup chicken broth to the pot.
  3. Step 3: Cover the pot with a lid and bake in a preheated oven at 375°F for 45 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through.
  4. Step 4: Remove the lid, stir in 1 1/2 cups short-grain white rice, and spread it evenly. Return the lid and bake for an additional 20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed.
  5. Step 5: Let the dish rest for 5 minutes, then garnish with 1/4 cup sliced green onions and 1 teaspoon sesame oil before serving.
