Sweet Soy-Glazed Chicken
- 1/2 cup sweet soy glaze (such as Kikkoman)
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 2 cloves garlic, grated
- 8 skin-on, bone-in chicken thighs (about 2 1/2 pounds)
- Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 6 cups pre-cut vegetables, such as broccoli florets, red bell peppers and/or carrots (about 14 ounces)
- Cooked white rice, for serving
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Mix the soy glaze with the rice vinegar and garlic.
- Divide the sauce between 2 small bowls and add 2 tablespoons water to one bowl; set aside.
- Season the chicken with salt and pepper.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large ovenproof nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add the chicken skin-side down and cook until the skin is golden and crisp, about 6 minutes.
- Flip and cook until golden on the other side, about 4 more minutes.
- Pour the thinned soy glaze mixture over the chicken.
- Transfer to the oven and bake, 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, combine the vegetables, 2 tablespoons water and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a microwave-safe bowl; cover loosely with plastic wrap.
- Microwave until tender, about 4 minutes.
- Stir in 1 tablespoon of the remaining soy glaze mixture.
- Remove the chicken from the oven; brush with the remaining soy glaze mixture.
- Return to the oven and bake until the chicken is cooked through, about 5 minutes.
- Serve with the vegetables and rice.
