Recipe: Soy Braised Chicken

This recipe is so ridiculously easy that even a monkey could cook it. This got eaten up so fast, I forgot to take a photo.

Ingredients:

  • 500g Chicken (Wings, thighs, or a whole chicken)
  • 2 tsp 5 spice powder
  • 1 star anise
  • 1 piece of ginger, sliced
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 1 tbsp dry sherry
  • 1 Cup of soy sauce
  • 1.5 Cups of Water*

*Or enough to mostly cover the chicken, keeping the same soy/water ratio.

  1. Bring the soy sauce, water, ginger, sugar, sherry, 5 spice and star anise to the simmer in a casserole dish or sauce pan.
  2. Reduce the stove to its lowest setting and simmer for 15-20 minutes, covered, until the chicken is cooked.
  3. Remove the chicken pieces, garnish and serve. Discard the sauce or refrigerate for your next batch!

Best served with rice.
