Ingredients:
3 poundsbone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (about 6 to 8)
1/3 cupsoy sauce
1/3 cupgranulated sugar
10 to 12 garlic cloves (about 1 medium head), finely minced
1 tablespoonfresh ginger, finely minced
1/2 cupall-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoonkosher salt
1/4 teaspoonfreshly ground black pepper
1/2 cupneutral oil, such as canola or safflower
Directions:
Make the marinade: Combine the soy sauce, sugar, garlic, and ginger in a large shallow dish or large ziplock bag. Give the mixture a stir to help the sugar dissolve. Add chicken to the marinade and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight. Turn the chicken over halfway through the marinating time.
Add the oil to a 9×13-inch baking dish and place in a cold oven. Heat the oven to 375°F.
While the oven is heating, prepare the chicken: Pat the chicken dry and transfer it to a plate. Add the flour, salt, and pepper to a medium-sized bowl and mix briefly to combine. Coat each piece of chicken in flour and gently shake off any excess.
When the oven has heated, carefully remove the baking dish and add the chicken pieces to the hot oil—it should sizzle. Return the pan to the oven and bake for 40 to 50 minutes, or until the chicken is golden brown and an instant read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the meat registers about 185°F.
Serve with steamed rice. Store leftovers in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to three days.
