Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine soy sauce, brown sugar, honey, water, rice vinegar, minced garlic, and ground ginger. Whisk together until the sugar dissolves completely.
  2. Place the chicken thighs in a bowl or zip-top bag, pouring the reserved marinade over them. Ensure each piece is well-coated.
  3. Pour the remaining marinade into a saucepan and heat over medium heat. Bring to a boil, then mix cornstarch with water to create a slurry and add to the boiling marinade.
  4. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Arrange the marinated chicken thighs on a baking sheet and brush the tops with thickened sauce.
  5. For a caramelized finish, broil the chicken thighs for 1-3 minutes, then let rest before serving. Brush with reserved sauce before serving.
