Ingredients

  •  chicken thighs bone-in (2 lb. total)
  • 0.5 cup fat-skimmed chicken broth 
  • ounces ginger fresh scrubbed thinly sliced
  • tablespoon salad oil 
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt 
  • tablespoons soya sauce black
  • 0.3 cup rock sugar or 

Equipment

  • bowl
  • frying pan
  • tongs

Directions

  1. Rinse chicken and pat dry. Set a 12-inch frying pan or a 5- to 6-quart pan over high heat. When hot, add oil and ginger; stir often until ginger is lightly browned, 3 to 4 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-high; push ginger to edges of pan and add chicken pieces, skin side down, in a single layer. Cook, turning once, until browned on both sides, 7 to 8 minutes total.
  2. Drain off and discard fat from pan.
  3. Stir broth, 1/2 cup water, sugar, soy sauce, and salt into pan around chicken. Cover and bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium and simmer 8 minutes. Turn chicken pieces over, cover, and continue cooking until no longer pink at the bone (cut to test), 7 to 9 minutes longer.
  4. With tongs, lift chicken from pan juices and place in a shallow bowl or on a rimmed platter. Skim and discard fat from pan juices; pour juices over chicken.
  5. Sprinkle green onions on top of meat if desired.
