Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by cutting chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces, seasoning generously with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat a tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken and sear for about 5-7 minutes until golden brown.
  3. Whisk together soy sauce, brown sugar, minced garlic, grated ginger, rice vinegar, and a cornstarch slurry in a bowl.
  4. Pour the sauce mixture into the same skillet, scraping up brown bits. Cook for about 3-4 minutes until thickened.
  5. Return the seared chicken to the skillet, stirring gently to coat with the sauce. Simmer for 1-2 minutes.
  6. Spoon warm rice into bowls, top with sticky chicken and sauce, and finish with green onions.
