Soy sauce chicken is quick, easy, and full of flavor. It's a 3-ingredient recipe that we reach for whenever we don't feel like cooking. The chicken thighs stay juicy and tender and the flavor goes well with most side dishes. You'll love it!

Number Of Ingredients 3

8 boneless chicken thighs
¼ cup reduced-sodium soy sauce (gluten-free, if needed)
1 tablespoon cooking oil

Steps:

  • Place the chicken thighs into a bowl and pour the soy sauce over the top. Mix well and then put the bowl into your fridge. Let the thighs marinate for 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours).
  • Heat the oil in a large, nonstick frying pan over medium heat. Pour the chicken thighs and all of the marinade into the pan and spread out the thighs so that they are in a single layer. Let them cook for 6 minutes then stir them around and scrape the bottom of the pan before turning them over and cooking for another 6 minutes, or until they are cooked through.

Categories     Dinner

Time 1h5m

Number Of Ingredients 13

1kg skin-on and bone-in chicken thighs (6-7 thighs)
1 tbsp rapeseed oil
4 spring onions, 3 cut in half, 1 finely sliced on an angle, to serve
thumb-sized piece of ginger, grated
3 star anise
2 bay leaves
240ml light soy sauce
2 tbsp dark soy sauce
1 tbsp oyster sauce
2 tbsp Shaoxing rice wine, or Chinese rose wine (or use sherry)
3 tbsp dark brown sugar
1 tbsp cornflour mixed with 1 tbsp water
cooked jasmine rice and steamed greens (we used broccoli and pak choi), to serve

Steps:

  • Season the chicken with salt and set aside. Heat the oil in a wok or large frying pan over a medium heat, add the halved spring onions, ginger, star anise and bay leaves. Stir-fry for 5 mins until fragrant and the spring onions turn slightly golden.
  • Pour in the light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, oyster sauce, Shaoxing rice wine, 2 tbsp of the sugar and 480ml water. Turn the heat up to high and bring the liquid to the boil.
  • Slide in the chicken thighs, skin-side down, arranging them in a single layer. Add water if needed to just about cover the chicken.
  • Turn the heat down low, cover the wok or pan and simmer for 35 mins. Turn the thighs over and cook covered for another 10 mins.
  • Remove the chicken to a plate. When the thighs are cool enough to handle, remove the bones and slice into pieces about 1cm thick. Arrange on a serving dish.
  • While the chicken is cooling, strain 150ml of the braising liquid into a small pan and discard the solids. Put the pan over a medium heat and just before it starts to boil, add the cornflour mixture and remaining brown sugar. Once the sauce reaches your desired thickness, remove from the heat. (It should be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.) Pour it over the sliced chicken or serve in a bowl on the side for dipping. Garnish with the sliced spring onion. Serve with jasmine rice and steamed greens, or vegetables of your choice.
