Steps:
- Position a rack about 7 inches from the broiler and heat the oven to 450°F. Line the bottom of a broiler pan with foil and lightly oil the top of the pan. Season the chicken all over with 1 tsp. salt and 1/2 tsp. pepper. Arrange the shiitake in 8 pairs, gill sides up, on the prepared broiler pan and season with salt and pepper. Arrange 2 or 3 scallion pieces on top of each mushroom pair, then put a chicken thigh, skin side up, on top. Press with your hand to flatten. Roast until the edges of the chicken begin to brown and an instantread thermometer inserted in a thick part of the biggest thigh registers 165°F, about 20 minutes. Turn the broiler to high and broil until the skin is crisp and deeply browned, 5 to 6 minutes, rotating the pan once for even browning. While the chicken is cooking, combine the soy sauce, sugar, mirin, and orange zest in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring to dissolve the sugar. In a small bowl, stir the orange juice and cornstarch; add this mixture to the saucepan. Return to a simmer and cook, stirring constantly, until thickened and glossy, about 1 minute. To serve, transfer the chicken, scallions, and mushrooms to dinner plates, drizzle with the sauce, and sprinkle with the sesame seeds.

Tips:
- Choose the right chicken thighs: Look for bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs that are evenly sized. This will ensure that they cook evenly.
- Make sure the chicken thighs are dry: Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels before cooking. This will help the glaze adhere to the chicken and prevent it from steaming.
- Use a good quality soy sauce: The soy sauce is the key ingredient in this recipe, so make sure you use a good quality one. Look for a soy sauce that is dark and flavorful.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the chicken thighs, make sure not to overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the chicken from cooking evenly.
- Cook the chicken thighs over medium heat: Cook the chicken thighs over medium heat for about 10 minutes per side, or until the skin is crispy and the chicken is cooked through.
- Baste the chicken thighs frequently: Baste the chicken thighs with the glaze every few minutes while they are cooking. This will help to keep the chicken moist and flavorful.
- Let the chicken thighs rest before serving: Once the chicken thighs are cooked, let them rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the chicken.
Conclusion:
Soy-glazed chicken thighs are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The chicken thighs are tender and juicy, and the glaze is sweet and savory. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
