2-3 pounds chicken thighs
1 cup soy sauce ((aka shoyu))
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup water

Steps:

  • Combine soy sauce, sugar, water, garlic, ginger, and red pepper flakes in a high-sided saute pan over medium heat and stir until sugar is dissolved.
  • As soon as sugar is dissolved, place chicken in the pan. The chicken can be touching but don't over-crowd the pan.

  • Simmer uncovered for 35-40 minutes, turning the chicken over half-way through. The sauce should thicken and reduce as it is cooking.

Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken pieces: Bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs or drumsticks are ideal for this recipe, as they will stay moist and flavorful during the simmering process.
  • Use a good quality soy sauce: The soy sauce is the key ingredient in this dish, so make sure to use a good quality one. Look for a soy sauce that is naturally brewed and has a deep, rich flavor.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When searing the chicken, make sure to do it in batches so that the chicken has enough space to brown properly. If you overcrowd the pan, the chicken will steam instead of sear.
  • Simmer the chicken for at least 30 minutes: This will allow the chicken to absorb all of the delicious flavors from the soy sauce and other ingredients.
  • Serve with rice or noodles: Soy simmered chicken is traditionally served with rice or noodles. You can also serve it with vegetables or a salad.

Conclusion:

Soy simmered chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is also a great way to use up leftover chicken. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a flavorful and satisfying meal that the whole family will enjoy.
