Pat chicken thighs dry. Season with salt and pepper. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high until shimmering.
Step 3
Sear chicken skin-side down 5-6 minutes without moving until skin is golden and crispy.
Step 4
Flip chicken and cook 3-4 minutes more until cooked through (internal temp 165°F). Remove to a plate.

In same skillet, cook garlic slices 30 seconds until fragrant. Add ginger, soy sauce, mirin, and 1/4 cup water.
