Step 1
Pat chicken thighs dry. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
Step 2
Spread panko on a plate. Coat each thigh evenly, pressing gently so crumbs stick.
Step 3
Heat 2 tbsp oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high until shimmering, about 90 seconds.
Step 4
Sear chicken 5–6 minutes per side without moving until golden and internal temp hits 165°F.
Step 5
Whisk soy sauce, ginger, vinegar, and sugar in a small bowl until sugar dissolves.
Step 6
Pour glaze over chicken and tilt skillet to coat. Let it bubble for 1 minute until sticky and glossy.
Step 7
Divide rice between two bowls. Top each with a piece of chicken, then drizzle with glaze and scatter green onions.
