Chinese Shoyu Chicken Recipes

Steps:

• Whisk together the soy sauce, brown sugar, water, garlic, onion, ginger, black pepper, oregano, red pepper flakes, cayenne pepper, and paprika in a large glass or ceramic bowl. Add the chicken thighs, and toss to evenly coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap, and marinate the chicken in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat, and lightly oil the grate.
• Remove the chicken thighs from the marinade. Discard the remaining marinade. Grill the chicken thighs on the preheated grill until cooked through, about 15 minutes per side.

Steps:

• Combine 1 cup soy sauce, pineapple juice, brown sugar, ginger, and garlic in a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as an Instant Pot®). Place chicken on top. Turn on Saute function and cook for about 8 minutes, stirring occasionally. Cancel saute function. Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 10 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
• Release pressure carefully using the quick-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 5 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid.
• Meanwhile, combine 2 tablespoons soy sauce, hoisin sauce, water, oyster sauce, rice vinegar, and brown sugar in a bowl. Set sauce aside.
• Heat sesame oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Stir in onion and cook until soft and translucent, about 3 minutes. Stir in fresh chow mein noodles, cabbage, celery, mushrooms, carrots, and peas. Cook and stir until vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes. Mix sauce into the skillet and toss everything together until well combined and heated through, about 2 minutes. Serve with the shoyu chicken.

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients except cornstarch and green onions in a large pot and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce to low and simmer, covered, turning occasionally, until chicken is tender, about 30 to 35 minutes more.
• Remove chicken to a serving platter. Remove garlic and ginger and discard. Bring sauce to a boil, skim off excess fat, and cook until reduced slightly, about 10 minutes. Whisk in cornstarch mixture and bring to a boil. Remove from heat, add chicken, turn to coat, and serve chicken with sauce and sliced green onions.

Steps:

• Cut up chicken Chinese style (Cut off the end of the bone in the drumstick, cut each thigh in half, cut each wing into 2 segments with meat, and cut the breasts into strips transversely through the carcass with a heavy cleaver).
• Do not debone chicken.
• Combine the teriyaki sauce, five spice powder, cilantro, sesame oil, wine, and soy sauce.
• For added flavor, combine ingredients and marinate chicken for 12-24 hours before cooking.
• Add sauce and chicken to large saucepan of wok and bring to a simmer.
• Cook, covered, at least 30 minutes or until chicken cooked through.
• If time permits, cook for up to 1 hour on low heat- the longer cook time will get the chicken fall-off-the-bones tender.
• Serve warm with rice (Also makes great leftovers).
