Ingredients

Units Scale

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, teriyaki sauce, brown sugar, garlic, ginger, and 1½ cups of stock until the sugar dissolves (about 30 seconds or as needed).
  2. Pour the sauce into a deep Dutch oven or a large skillet.
  3. Place the chicken thighs skin-side down in the pot.
  4. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then lower the heat to medium-low.
  5. Cover and let it simmer for 25–30 minutes, turning the chicken halfway through, or until it becomes tender.
  6. Remove the chicken with kitchen tongs from the pot and place it skin-side up on a deep ovenproof baking tray with high sides.
  7. Preheat your oven to broil. Roast the chicken until the skin turns golden and crispy.
  8. Mix the remaining ¼ cup of stock with cornstarch until smooth.
  9. Stir this mixture into the sauce in the Dutch oven.
  10. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon, so reduce it to your liking.
  11. Return the golden, crispy roasted chicken to the Dutch oven, skin-side up.
  12. Spoon the thickened sauce over the chicken, garnish with parsley (optional), and serve.
