Let me show you this chicken recipe

Okay, the title for this post was a very bad attempt at humor.  The reason I said "Let me show you this chicken recipe" is because it is for Shoyu Chicken.  Get it?  Shoyu Chicken and show you this chicken recipe?  Uh...yeah...like I said, it was a bad attempt at humor.  This is another recipe that I saw on TV and once I tried it, I fell in love with it.  Its from the show Ask Aida on the Food Network.  Enjoy.

Shoyu Chicken

Ingredients
5 1/2 to 6 pounds chicken thighs
5 cups low-sodium chicken broth
2 cups low-sodium soy sauce
1 cup packed light brown sugar
3/4 cup mirin
8 medium garlic cloves, smashed and peeled
4-inch piece ginger, sliced 1/2-inch thick and smashed
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
5 tablespoons cornstarch dissolved in 5 tablespoons water
Thinly sliced green onions, for garnish

Directions
Combine all ingredients except cornstarch and green onions in a large pot and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce to low and simmer, covered, turning occasionally, until chicken is tender, about 30 to 35 minutes more.

Remove chicken to a serving platter. Remove garlic and ginger and discard. Bring sauce to a boil, skim off excess fat, and cook until reduced slightly, about 10 minutes. Whisk in cornstarch mixture and bring to a boil. Remove from heat, add chicken, turn to coat, and serve chicken with sauce and sliced green onions.
