Crisp Soy Sauce (Shoyu) Chicken

To my local girls over on Facebook :) Especially Raena, who asked if I was going to film it ;)

2 lbs. chicken (thighs, wings or drumsticks)
2 Tbsp. flour (heaping)
2 Tbsp. cornstarch (heaping)

Shake in bag to coat. Deep fry till crispy brown. (I have seen another version where they coated it and cooked it in oven for an hour)

Sauce:

1/2 c. shoyu (soy sauce)
1/4 c. sugar
1/8 c. cooking sherry
sesame seeds
ginger, crushed
garlic, crushed
green onions, finely chopped

Cook till sauce boils. After deep frying, dip in sauce right away. Leave open in oven to keep warm. Pour left over sauce over chicken.

Enjoy!

Note: The name almost seems a little misleading. But really it is what it claims it is, a crispy shoyu chicken, just not the traditional shoyu chicken made crispy haha If that makes any sense. Anyway, to me it reminds me of any sort of dipping sauce that locals normally make and dip wings into after frying (I've done them before, including Korean fried). It tastes good though! And is really nice and juicy/moist.

@AshleyFD26 I'm trying to load my Spam fried rice recipe right now!! I am having bad connection issues, however. It stalled and died on me. The wind is very fierce here today so it is killing my connectino, I guess

@CookingAndCrafting HAHA!!! Awesome!....well not about the connection problems. :)

@CookingAndCrafting,

It killed me a little, too, and I suspect that because it was "unknown," (who would give a rat's ass about some sort of shoyu), it was considered trash. And I know Tammy would've enjoyed the comparing like I have. (Finally recalled the "American" brand I grew up with; it's "La Choy," and still on the shelves. Kinda like brown battery acid...

Floor is done. I finished the final washdown/cleanup of the grout yesterday, and I love it. It's AS I wanted it. Video will follow.

@anmoose I think I died a little inside when I heard about it. I wonder if they toss things or if they get to take it home? I hope they can take it home. I mean it didn't cost a whole hell of a lot of money, it was just that I wanted you guys to see what I was talking about--how different it is from the stuff on the mainland. How is the floor coming along?
