Ingredients

1 cup white sugar
1 cup soy sauce
1 cup water
0.25 cup minced garlic
0.25 cup minced fresh ginger
5 pounds bone-in chicken thighs with skin
0.25 cup chopped green onions

Instructions

Prepare all ingredients.
In a large pot, combine sugar, soy sauce, water, minced garlic, and ginger over medium heat. Stir until the sugar is fully dissolved.
Place chicken thighs in the pot and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, turning the chicken regularly, until the sauce thickens into a rich glaze and the chicken is cooked through (about 35 minutes). Ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Let cool for 10 minutes.
Transfer the cooked chicken to a serving plate and garnish with freshly chopped green onions.
