Ingredients
- 5 tablespoons soy sauce (low sodium)
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- ½ tablespoon grated ginger (or 1 teaspoon ground ginger)
- 5–6 large boneless skinless chicken thighs (about 2 ½ pounds)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup onion, diced
- 1 ½ cups jasmine rice
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 cups chicken broth (low sodium)
- Homemade or store-bought yum yum sauce for drizzling
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the soy sauce, brown sugar, rice vinegar, pepper, and ginger. Mix until well combined.
- Add the chicken thighs to the marinade, toss to coat, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (or up to 12 hours for best flavor).
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Heat a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil. Remove the chicken from the marinade (set the marinade aside) and cook the chicken thighs for 2-3 minutes per side, just to brown. The chicken will not be fully cooked at this point. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- Add the diced onion to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes until softened. Add the jasmine rice and minced garlic, cooking for an additional minute.
- Pour in the chicken broth and reserved marinade. Bring to a simmer, then turn off the heat. Place the partially cooked chicken thighs on top of the rice mixture, cover, and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
- Once baked, serve the chicken and rice with a generous drizzle of yum yum sauce on top.
Notes
- Marinating the Chicken: For the best flavor, marinate the chicken for several hours or even overnight.
- Yum Yum Sauce: If you don’t have homemade yum yum sauce, store-bought works just as well and still gives a great flavor boost!
