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. Ingredients:
1 whole chicken, cut into parts |
1/3-1/2 cup soy sauce (use low sodium if you like) |
1/2 cup water |
3 tablespoons brown sugar |
1 tablespoon oyster sauce |
1/4 cup rice wine or 1/4 cup dry sherry |
1 tablespoon fresh ginger, crushed |
1/2 teaspoon five-spice powder |
1 -2 piece star anise |
2 cloves garlic |
chopped birds eye chile (optional) |
1 stalk scallion, chopped |
sesame seeds |
Directions:
1. Mix all ingredients, except chicken, scallions, sesame seeds in a large pot over medium heat.
2. Add chicken, then let simmer 30-40 minutes, turning chicken pieces occasionally.
3. Remove chicken pieces from sauce and set aside in a serving platter.
4. Skim fat from the sauce, thicken it with cornstarch mixture (1 tsp cornstarch dissolved in 1 TB water) and pour the sauce over chicken.
5. Sprinkle scallions and sesame seeds and serve with rice.
