Steps:
- Place the chicken thighs into a bowl and pour the soy sauce over the top. Mix well and then put the bowl into your fridge. Let the thighs marinate for 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours).
- Heat the oil in a large, nonstick frying pan over medium heat. Pour the chicken thighs and all of the marinade into the pan and spread out the thighs so that they are in a single layer. Let them cook for 6 minutes then stir them around and scrape the bottom of the pan before turning them over and cooking for another 6 minutes, or until they are cooked through.

Steps:
- In a small heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine chicken, stock, wine, ginger, onion, garlic, five-spice powder, and salt and pepper to taste. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook, covered, until chicken is very tender, 1 to 11/2 hours. Remove chicken and set aside. Strain and reserve 1/2 cup of cooking liquid.
- Place a heavy-bottomed skillet over medium heat, and add oil. When hot, add ginger and garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir in curry paste, tomato paste and coconut milk. Add chicken, reserved cooking liquid and a pinch of salt.
- Cover and bring to a gentle simmer. Add zucchini and simmer just until cooked, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in lime juice and transfer to a serving dish. Garnish with chopped basil, and serve.

Steps:
- Combine the marinade ingredients in a small bowl. Sit the chicken in a casserole dish, rub the marinade all over, and put the ginger peel in the cavity. Cover and leave at room temperature to marinate for 1 hr, or in the fridge overnight.
- Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Mix the stock ingredients in a jug, then pour over the chicken. Roast for 1 hr, uncovered, then baste with the liquid in the dish. Roast for 30-40 mins more, basting every 10 mins, until the chicken is deep brown. Keep an eye on the glaze in the base of the dish - you may need to add a splash of water to keep it from burning.
- Leave the chicken to rest for 20 mins, then transfer to a board. Skim the fat from the juices, bring to the boil, then turn off the heat. Shred the thigh and leg meat and wrap in the lettuce leaves along with the spring onions, cucumber, chilli, coriander and nuts. Slice the breast meat and serve withthe rice and warm roasting juices.

Tips:
- Choose the right chicken: Use a whole chicken or chicken parts with the skin on. Bone-in chicken will yield more flavorful results than boneless chicken.
- Marinate the chicken: Marinating the chicken in a mixture of dark soy sauce, Shaoxing wine, ginger, garlic, and green onions for at least 30 minutes will help to infuse it with flavor.
- Use a dark soy sauce: Dark soy sauce is thicker and has a more intense flavor than regular soy sauce. It will give the chicken a deep, rich color.
- Cook the chicken slowly: Slow cooking the chicken will help to tenderize it and allow the flavors to meld together.
- Baste the chicken: Basting the chicken with the cooking liquid during the last 30 minutes of cooking will help to keep it moist and flavorful.
Conclusion:
This black-skinned chicken slow-cooked in dark soy sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The chicken is tender and flavorful, with a crispy skin and a rich, savory sauce and the addition of shiitake mushrooms just blends perfectly and makes it a more fulfilling dish. Serve it with rice or noodles and a side of vegetables for a complete meal that the entire family will enjoy.
