Let's Get Cookin'!: Shoyu Chicken aka Soy Sauce Chicken

hawaii's style ingredants: brown sugar, water, garlic, ginger, black pepper, choke chiken bone or boneless. put all in one pot den cook for 1 and a half hour. fin. den eat up brah. cheee

I can assure you that if you follow the cooking temp and time of this recipe, you'll end up with over-cooked chicken. The meat will be dry and rough, not smooth and pink as it should be in real soy sauce chicken.

should SIMMER, not cook on medium

I've found this recipe to be AMAZING when I jazz it up a little with a WHOLE bunch of green onions, chopped into big pieces, and a WHOLE crapload of fresh chilies.

YUMMY!

soy sauce chicken is one of my favorites, I've been eating it for years and yet im still alive! secret? DON'T "eat the sauce", just eat the chicken. The sauce is full of sodium not the chicken :P Maybe get a VERY small spoonful of the sauce and to mix with rice. Oh yea what i recomend is to use LARGE pieces of chicken and just let it simmer for about 15mins or more and to flip the chicken over once or twice. Small pieces of chicken tend to be more salty =P yea just some hints =)

Hey does anyone know about the green onion/oil sauce they serve with this meal in chinese restaurants? Please msg me if you do - I really need to learn how to prepare it.

Mmmmm! I think I'll make shoyu chicken tomorrow. A couple of years ago, I made "shoyu" chicken for my husband.What a doofus I was! Instead of grabbing the brown sugar...I grabbed the cinnamon sugar. Just as I put it in the pot, I realized what I had done.I tried to SAVE it, but there was still that cinnamon "smell".Talk about still having nightmares about it! Yuck! I make the Rainbow drive in version now using reg. sugar now. hahahaha!

Oooh regular sugar! I will have to try that!

Chicken and rice looks very yummy! I love your cooking vids!

Thank you :)
