SHOYU CHICKEN RECIPE



Shoyu Chicken Recipe image

Shoyu Chicken is a chicken dish with shoyu soy sauce, ginger and scallions; served over rice with a side of Hawaiian Mac Salad.

Provided by Adrianna Adarme

Categories     Main Course

Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 11

3/4 cup shoyu soy sauce
1 1/2 cups water
2 tablespoons honey
1/2 cup packed dark brown sugar
1 (2-inch knob) fresh ginger (peeled and thinly sliced)
3 whole garlic cloves (peeled and crushed)
2 pounds bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
1/2 Maui onion (or yellow onion) (peeled and cut into 3/4-inch wedges)
3 whole green onions (white and green parts, cut into 2-inch pieces)
1 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch
3 cups steamed rice, for serving

Steps:

  • In a heavy Dutch oven or pot, mix the soy sauce, water, honey, brown sugar, ginger, and garlic together. Nestle the chicken thighs in the sauce, skin side up, submerging the meat as much as possible. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat. When the sauce comes to a boil, add the Maui or yellow onion wedges and green onion pieces and turn the heat to medium-low. Cover the pot with a lid and let simmer for 30 minutes. Using a pair of kitchen tongs, gently turn all the chicken pieces over. Cover the pot again and simmer for another 30 minutes.
  • Check the tenderness of the meat with a fork; if you can easily insert the fork into the meat, the chicken is done. Remove the cooked thighs from the sauce, reserving it, and place them on a rimmed baking sheet.
  • Preheat the broiler.
  • In a small bowl, whisk the cornstarch with 1/4 cup of the sauce until smooth, then add the cornstarch mixture back to the pot with the remaining sauce and cook over medium-low for 4 to 5 minutes, until the sauce has thickened. Broil the chicken thighs for a minute or two, watching carefully to make sure you do not burn the skin. The goal is to just quickly brown the skin.
  • Serve the chicken with the thickened sauce and rice.

HAWAIIAN SHOYU CHICKEN



Hawaiian Shoyu Chicken image

This is a Hawaiian dish that uses a Chinese cooking method with Japanese ingredients. You can literally find 100s of Shoyu chicken recipes in Hawaii and every household has it's own twist. The key if you want to be "authentic" is to use Hawaiian Shoyu, it's a bit sweeter than normal soy sauce (Shoyu means soy sauce in Japanese) which you can find in any Asian market. The basics of Shoyu chicken is poaching the chicken in soy sauce and other ingredients. If you like teriyaki chicken the flavor profile is very similar. I have friends that use Teriyaki sauce in their Shoyu chicken recipes.
