Shoyu Chicken

Ingredients

• 5 1/2 to 6 pound(s) chicken thighs
• 5 cup(s) low-sodium chicken broth
• 2 cup(s) low-sodium soy sauce
• 1 cup(s) packed light brown sugar
• 3/4 cup(s) mirin
• 8 clove(s) (medium) of garlic smashed and peeled
• 4-inch piece of ginger sliced 1/2-inch thick and smashed
• 1 teaspoon(s) freshly ground black pepper
• 5 tablespoon(s) cornstarch dissolved in 5 tablespoons of water
• thinly sliced green onions for garnish

Preparation

1. Combine all ingredients except cornstarch and green onions in a large pot and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce to low and simmer, covered, turning occasionally, until chicken is tender, about 30 to 35 minutes more.
2. Remove chicken to a serving platter. Remove garlic and ginger and discard. Bring sauce to a boil, skim off excess fat, and cook until reduced slightly, about 10 minutes. Whisk in cornstarch mixture and bring to a boil. Remove the heat, add chicken, turn to coat, and serve chicken with sauce and sliced green onions.
