Soy sauce chicken
Soy sauce chicken
Soy sauce chicken is a delicious and popular dish in Chinese cuisine. It involves marinating a whole chicken in a mixture of soy sauce, Chinese spices, and other seasonings, and then simmering or roasting it until it’s tender and flavorful. It is often served with rice or noodles.
Ingredients
Method
- In a large bowl, combine the soy sauce, water, brown sugar, minced garlic, ginger slices, star anise, and cinnamon sticks. Stir well until the sugar is dissolved.
- Add the chicken pieces to the bowl, making sure they are fully coated in the marinade. Let the chicken marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight in the refrigerator for even more flavor.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or pot over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the marinated chicken (reserving the marinade) and cook until browned on all sides, for about 5-7 minutes.
- Pour the reserved marinade into the skillet or pot with the chicken. Bring it to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 30-40 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
- Once cooked, remove the chicken from the pot and let it rest for a few minutes. Meanwhile, you can boil the leftover sauce on high heat to reduce it into a thicker consistency, or serve it as is.
- Serve the soy sauce chicken hot, garnished with chopped green onions. It pairs beautifully with steamed rice or noodles.
