Ingredients
- 1 cup soy sauce
- 1 cup brown sugar, firmly packed
- 1 cup water
- 1/4 cup mirin
- 1 tablespoon garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger root, grated
- 1 tablespoon ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 teaspoon ground paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon Chinese 5 spice
- 5 pounds chicken thighs bone-in, skin on
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch mixed with 3 tablespoons cold water
Garnish:

Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the first 11 ingredients until brown sugar is dissolved and everything is well combined.
- Place the chicken thighs (5 pounds) in a large, high-sided skillet or large pot, and pour sauce over the chicken. Turn the chicken over to coat both sides with the sauce.
- Bring sauce to a boil, over medium-high heat, then reduce heat and simmer partially covered, turning occasionally, until chicken registers 165 degrees when an instant-read thermometer is inserted near the bone, about 30-35 minutes.
- Remove the chicken to a serving platter.
- Add the cornstarch and water mixture to the liquid in the skillet, and bring to a boil, whisking constantly, and cook until thick.
- Adjust seasoning and pour sauce over chicken. Sprinkle with green onions and serve.
