½ cup soy sauce

Heat a large heavy-bottomed pan (like cast iron) over medium-low heat. Drizzle the pan with oil and cook the chicken SKIN SIDE DOWN, for at least 12-15 minutes or until the skin is crunchy and golden brown. Remove the thighs from the pan and place on a plate or cookie sheet. Raise the heat of the pan to medium, add the garlic, ginger, chicken stock and reduce for 1 minute. Add the mirin and soy and reduce until it just coats the back of a spoon. Add the chicken back in, skin side up, lower the heat and warm the chicken until its cooked through, about 6-8 minutes; garnish with the scallions, serve with sticky rice.
