Ingredients:  
2 T vegetable oil
2½ lbs. skin-on, bone-in chicken thighs
Kosher salt
8 Cloves garlic, peeled
⅓ C Packed light brown sugar
¼ C unseasoned rice vinegar
2 slices peeled ginger ¼" thick
1 C low-sodium chicken broth
¼ C reduced-sodium soy sauce
2 scallions, thinly sliced

Directions:
Directions:
Heat oil in a large wide heavy pot over medium-high heat.
Season chicken with salt and, working in batches, cook until golden brown and crisp, 6-8 minutes per side; transfer to a plate. Add garlic to pot and cook, stirring often, until golden, about 2 minutes; transfer to a plate with chicken. Pour off fat from pot.

Return pot to medium-high heat and add ½ cup water, scraping up browned bits. Add brown sugar; stir to dissolve, then cook, stirring, until mixture thickens and turns a deep amber color, about 4 minutes. Carefully add vinegar (it may bubble up; sugar will crystallize); stir to dissolve sugar.

Add ginger, broth, and soy sauce, then add chicken, skin side up, and garlic. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer gently until chicken is cooked through, 20-25 minutes. Transfer chicken to a plate.

Bring cooking liquid to a boil and cook until thick enough to coat a spoon, about 10 minutes. Return chicken to pot; turn to coat. Top with scallions and serve with rice.
