For a richer flavor, use bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs.
Adjust the amount of soy sauce to your preference. If you prefer a less salty dish, use even lower sodium soy sauce or reduce the amount slightly.
Serve over steamed rice with a sprinkle of chopped green onions for a complete meal.
This dish is even better the next day, as the flavors have more time to develop.
