    This was delicious! I added a little rice vinegar, and cornstarch because of the extra liquid. I also didn't let the pan get hot enough at first for sugar, it still worked fine, but it took a while longer. Overall, it was delicious!

    Reduce Heat to a Simmer. Cook Until Liquid in the Pan Is Reduced to Half. Sauce Should Be Brown and Thick. About 10 Minutes If You're Using Boned in Whole Thighs. If You're Using Boneless, Skinless Chicken the Cooking Time Is Reduced to About 6 Minutes. Over Cooking Will Make the Meat Tough.
