Steps:
- 1. Place chicken in the slowcooker.
- 2. Add soy sauce, ginger and pepper. Add water to cover the chicken.
- 3. Turn on high and cook all day, or 6 hours. Longer cooking will not hurt this at all.
- 4. Serve over lentils or jasmine rice
Tips:
- Choose the right chicken: For best results, use a whole chicken or chicken thighs. Bone-in chicken will yield more flavor than boneless.
- Don't overcrowd the slow cooker: If you're using a whole chicken, cut it into pieces so that it fits comfortably in the slow cooker. Overcrowding the slow cooker will prevent the chicken from cooking evenly.
- Use dark soy sauce: Dark soy sauce has a richer flavor than light soy sauce and will give the chicken a beautiful mahogany color.
- Add plenty of aromatics: Aromatics such as garlic, ginger, scallions, and star anise will add depth of flavor to the chicken.
- Simmer the chicken on low: Cook the chicken on low for 6-8 hours, or until the chicken is fall-off-the-bone tender.
- Serve with rice or noodles: Soy-braised chicken is traditionally served with rice or noodles. You can also serve it with steamed vegetables or a simple salad.
Conclusion:
Soy-braised chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that's perfect for a weeknight meal. The chicken is tender and flavorful, and the sauce is rich and umami-packed. Serve it with rice or noodles and you have a complete meal that the whole family will love.
