Thick Soy Sauce Chicken

 

This absolutely delicious chicken dish goes down easy - packed with flavor, creating extremely tender and flavorful chicken due to the longer cook time.

Thick Soy Sauce Chicken

from Home Cooking with Somjit


Ingredients:

3 whole chicken legs (9 pieces broken up) - or equivalent pieces of chicken

3 shiitake mushrooms, soaked in water then halved

3 medium potatoes, peeled & halved

4 dates

2 large onions, roughly chopped

3" ginger, peeled & sliced into thin circles

1 full head of garlic, peeled

3 Tbs. oil (for frying)

marinade/sauce:

6 Tbs thick soy sauce

1 Tbs oyster sauce

1 Tbs Chinese cooking wine

1 tsp soy sauce

1/2 tsp sesame oil

1/2 tsp pepper

3/4 cup water, as needed

Instructions:

1. In a large bowl, combine all marinade ingredients and toss well with the chicken pieces. Set aside while you prepare the other ingredients, stirring the chicken every 5 minutes to ensure good coverage. 

2. In a large pan with a lid, heat the 3 Tbs. cooking oil over medium-high heat. Once at temperature, cook onions until softened.

3. Add remaining ingredients to the pot and stir well to combine. Lower heat to medium-low, cover pan, and cook for another 45 minutes - stirring every 15 minutes or so. 

Note: If the chicken does not release enough juices, add water as needed so the ingredients don't stick to the bottom of the pan.

4. Serve over rice, and enjoy!
