5 t olive oil            5 bone-in chicken thighs, skin removed
1/3 c water            ¼ c packed brown sugar
2 T orange juice        2 T soy sauce            2 T ketchup
1 T white vinegar        4 garlic cloves, minced

In a large skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add chicken; cook 8-10 minutes on each side or until no longer pink.  In a small bowl, whisk water, brown sugar, orange juice, soy sauce, ketchup, vinegar, garlic, pepper flakes and five-spice powder.  Pour over chicken.  Bring to a boil.  Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, 30-35 minutes or until chicken is tender, turning chicken occasionally.
