  • Prep 15 min
  • Total 40 min
  • Servings 4

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1 clove garlic, finely chopped
  • 1 1/2 lb skin-on bone-in chicken thighs
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Steps

  • 1
    Heat oven to 375°F. In small bowl, beat brown sugar, soy sauce, vinegar, ginger and garlic with whisk until well combined. Set aside.
  • 2
    Heat 10-inch ovenproof skillet or roasting pan over medium-high heat. Rub chicken with oil; place skin side down in skillet. Sear chicken, without moving, 3 to 5 minutes or until skin is browned and chicken releases easily from skillet.
  • 3
    Transfer chicken to plate. Pour off drippings from skillet. Return chicken to skillet, skin side up. Pour brown sugar-soy mixture over chicken.
  • 4
    Roast 15 to 25 minutes or until juice of chicken is clear when thickest part is cut to bone (at least 165°F). Serve chicken with sauce.

  • Searing meat in a pan on the stovetop then finishing in the oven is a classic restaurant technique that frees up burners while ensuring a succulent finished product that's less likely to overcook or burn.
  • To avoid the cutting board entirely, use preminced garlic or substitute 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder for the fresh garlic.
