Chinese Soy Sauce Chicken

    Cuisine:

    This turned out great! My aunt gave me a recipe for soy sauce chicken, but this one blew it away. I pretty much followed the recipe as is. used a third cup low sodium soy sauce and one star anise, as that's what most commentors recommended. I only made this with half a chicken and the sauce never reached the top of my chicken pieces. I had to turn them at 10 minute increments. Maybe I'll use a smaller pot next time. And since the breast cooks faster than the thigh I added the breast after the first 20 minutes. Not salty at all. I even used some of the sauce on the white rice and couldn't bear to part with it even after we finished the chicken. My husband gives this 2 thumbs up. He couldn't stop talking about how good it was.

    Chinese Soy Sauce Chicken,This recipe is an adaptation from a basic soy sauce chicken recipe from the internet and consultation with my grandma. I can eat this everyday! You can use skinless, boneless chicken parts, but the taste won’t be the same.,This turned out great! My aunt gave me a recipe for soy sauce chicken, but this one blew it away.

He couldn’t stop talking about how good it was.,Easy is the key word. This practically assembled itself! Definitely use reduced sodium soy sauce and pair with some rice to cut the saltiness. We used bone-in chicken thighs, and the only thing that could make this better was a quick broil to get the skin crisp. Excellent flavor.
