Tips:

  • To ensure the chicken thighs are cooked evenly, make sure they are all about the same size. If you have larger thighs, you may need to cook them for a few minutes longer.
  • If you don't have a meat thermometer, you can check if the chicken is cooked by piercing it with a fork. The juices should run clear, and the meat should be opaque throughout.
  • Feel free to adjust the amount of brown sugar and rice vinegar to your taste. If you like a sweeter sauce, add more brown sugar. If you prefer a more tangy sauce, add more rice vinegar.

Conclusion:

This sweet and tangy chicken thighs recipe is an easy and flavorful weeknight meal. The chicken is cooked in a flavorful sauce made with brown sugar, rice vinegar, soy sauce, and ginger. Serve the chicken over rice or your favorite side dish.
