Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Pat the boneless chicken thighs dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper. Rest for about 10 minutes.
  2. Heat vegetable oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken thighs skin-side down for 5-7 minutes until golden brown.
  3. Reduce the heat, add soy sauce, brown sugar, minced garlic, and ginger to the pot, and cook for 2-3 minutes until fragrant.
  4. Pour in chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Cover and simmer gently for 20 minutes.
  5. Rinse jasmine rice under cold water until clear. Cook in a separate saucepan with 1 1/2 cups of water and a pinch of salt.
  6. If desired, mix cornstarch with cold water to create a slurry and add it to the broth after simmering for 20 minutes. Cook for 2-3 minutes.
  7. Turn off the heat, slice the chicken, and serve over Jasmine rice with broth. Garnish with green onions and cilantro.
