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:

• Mix all the sauce ingredients in a small bowl. Add the chicken to a large saute pan over medium heat and pour in the sauce. Bring to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer for 40 minutes, skimming off any fat that rises. Bring to a boil again and add the flour slurry, then lower the heat and let simmer for 10 minutes to thicken. Arrange the chicken in a deep serving platter and cover with the sauce.

• Remove chicken to a serving platter. Strain the sauce and bring to a boil. Thicken with the cornstarch slurry, adding it very slowly to avoid any clumps to desired thickness.
• Glaze over the chicken. Garnish with slices of green onion.
• Suggestion: Save some of the sauce, it goes wonderfully over rice, the dish tastes better the second day -- ;-)
• Serve with rice, and what the heck, mac salad! Onolicious!

• Place drumsticks into a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®) and pour sauce on top. Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 15 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
• Release pressure using the natural-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, 10 to 20 minutes. Remove drumsticks and set aside.
• Switch to Saute function and bring sauce to a boil. Mix 2 tablespoons cold water and potato starch in a small bowl to make a thick slurry. Quickly stir mixture into the sauce and continue stirring until sauce has thickened to your preferred consistency. Serve drumsticks with sauce.
