Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Pat the chicken thighs dry using paper towels and season with salt and pepper. Allow to rest for 10 minutes.
  2. In a large pot, heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Place the chicken thighs in the pot skin-side down and sear for 5-7 minutes until golden brown.
  3. Reduce heat to medium, add soy sauce, brown sugar, minced garlic, and minced ginger. Stir to combine ensuring sugar dissolves.
  4. Pour in chicken broth and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes.
  5. While the chicken simmers, rinse the jasmine rice under cold water. In a saucepan, combine rice, 1 ¾ cups of water, and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes until fluffy.
  6. If desired, mix cornstarch with cold water to create a slurry and stir into the broth for 2-3 minutes until thickened.
  7. Remove chicken from the pot, slice it, and serve over jasmine rice, ladling broth on top. Garnish with green onions and cilantro.
