SIMPLE SOY SAUCE CHICKEN



Simple Soy Sauce Chicken image

My boys always begged for this chicken. It literally falls off the bones and the sauce gives a rich flavor to the rice. Made with pantry staples, it's easy to throw together, too! Use low-sodium soy sauce if you're sensitive to salt. My family prefers chicken thighs but any pieces will work. Skin the chicken pieces if preferred. A zesty Italian dressing works best.

Categories     Chicken     Onion     Roast     Kid-Friendly     Soy Sauce     Small Plates

Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 pounds chicken breasts, with bones and skin, cleaned thoroughly but with some of its fat retained, and dried; each breast cut into quarters
2 tablespoons Chinese white rice wine or gin
3 tablespoons double dark soy sauce
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 1/2 teaspoons salt

SOY SAUCE CHICKEN



Soy sauce chicken image

Make a homemade version of soy sauce chicken (see yao gai), a classic Chinese dish. This recipe has a less labour-intensive method that you can do at home

Provided by Thy Lundkvist

Categories     Dinner

Time 1h5m

Number Of Ingredients 13

1kg skin-on and bone-in chicken thighs (6-7 thighs)
1 tbsp rapeseed oil
4 spring onions, 3 cut in half, 1 finely sliced on an angle, to serve
thumb-sized piece of ginger, grated
3 star anise
2 bay leaves
240ml light soy sauce
2 tbsp dark soy sauce
1 tbsp oyster sauce
2 tbsp Shaoxing rice wine, or Chinese rose wine (or use sherry)
3 tbsp dark brown sugar
1 tbsp cornflour mixed with 1 tbsp water
cooked jasmine rice and steamed greens (we used broccoli and pak choi), to serve

Steps:

  • Season the chicken with salt and set aside. Heat the oil in a wok or large frying pan over a medium heat, add the halved spring onions, ginger, star anise and bay leaves. Stir-fry for 5 mins until fragrant and the spring onions turn slightly golden.
  • Pour in the light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, oyster sauce, Shaoxing rice wine, 2 tbsp of the sugar and 480ml water. Turn the heat up to high and bring the liquid to the boil.
  • Slide in the chicken thighs, skin-side down, arranging them in a single layer. Add water if needed to just about cover the chicken.
  • Turn the heat down low, cover the wok or pan and simmer for 35 mins. Turn the thighs over and cook covered for another 10 mins.
  • Remove the chicken to a plate. When the thighs are cool enough to handle, remove the bones and slice into pieces about 1cm thick. Arrange on a serving dish.
  • While the chicken is cooling, strain 150ml of the braising liquid into a small pan and discard the solids. Put the pan over a medium heat and just before it starts to boil, add the cornflour mixture and remaining brown sugar. Once the sauce reaches your desired thickness, remove from the heat. (It should be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.) Pour it over the sliced chicken or serve in a bowl on the side for dipping. Garnish with the sliced spring onion. Serve with jasmine rice and steamed greens, or vegetables of your choice.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients. The better the quality of your ingredients, the better your dish will taste. Look for fresh, organic chicken, low-sodium soy sauce, and sweet onions.
  • Marinate the chicken. Marinating the chicken in soy sauce, garlic, and ginger will help to infuse it with flavor and make it more tender.
  • Cook the chicken over medium heat. Cooking the chicken over high heat will make it tough and dry. Medium heat will allow it to cook through evenly without burning.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan. If you overcrowd the pan, the chicken will not cook evenly. Cook the chicken in batches if necessary.
  • Use a nonstick skillet. A nonstick skillet will help to prevent the chicken from sticking and burning.
  • Serve the chicken with rice or noodles. Chicken soy sauce with onion is a great dish to serve with rice or noodles. You can also serve it with vegetables or a salad.

Conclusion:

Chicken soy sauce with onion is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is also a great dish to serve to guests. With a few simple ingredients, you can make a flavorful and satisfying meal that everyone will enjoy.
