Ingredients
- 5 (2 Lb) Bone-In Skin-On Chicken Thighs
- 2 ½ cup Aloha Shoyu Sauce,Recommended
- 1 ½ cup Chicken Broth
- 3 tbsp Lea & Perrins Worcestershire Sauce, Recommended
- 5 tbsp White Vinegar
- 1 ½ cup White Sugar

- 6 cloves Garlic
- ¼ cup Kikkoman Seasoned Mirin, Recommended
- 4 tbsp Flour
- 4 tbsp Water
- 5 cups Cooked Rice For Serving
- Spring Onion For Garnish
Instructions
- Peel Ginger and garlic with a knife or spoon and Chop the garlic and ginger.
- Combine all wet and dry ingredients with ginger and garlic chop. Put in a big pot and put on low to start melding those flavours. If the flavour is too much then add some water.
- Remember, flavour gets more potent when you thicken the sauce.
- Season the chicken thighs lightly with salt and pepper.
- Lightly oil the frying pan.
- Sear the chicken thighs. I did it a bit just enough to render some of the fat off to give the chicken a bit better texture and flavour.
- Don't cook all the way through. Just enough to crispy up the skin or burn some fat off.
- When the Chicken is done being seared put it in the pot with the sauce, then bring to a boil.
- Once it's at a boil reduce to simmer for at least 40 to 45 minutes.
- It can go for an hour no problem.
- Once the chicken is cooked transfer it to another pan.
- To thicken the sauce make a flour slurry.
- Put water first in a bowl before the flour to ensure no clumps and Stir the slurry.
- Get the sauce back up to a rolling boil then dump in the slurry.
- Stir well then reduce heat till to sauce reaches desired thickness.
- Add the chicken back in and make your plates. Always serve with some white rice and spring onion.
