Soy Sauce Chicken *(GOOD)* Recipe

Ingredients

1 cup soy sauce
3 cups water (more if needed to cover the chicken at least 3/4 of the way)
2 to 2 1/2 pounds chicken wings, drummettes and wings, separated
1 2-inch piece ginger, peeled and sliced
3 cloves garlic, smashed
3 tablespoons sugar
1 cinnamon stick
2 pieces star anise
1 scallion, shredded or chopped

Preparation

Step 1

In a large Dutch oven or pot, heat the chicken, soy sauce, and water over medium flame. Bring the liquid to a boil, then reduce to a gentle simmer. Make sure heat is as low as can be without turning off; simmering soy sauce can easily become rapidly boiling soy sauce, which can easily become a big mess to clean up.

Add the ginger, garlic, sugar, cinnamon, star anise, and sugar. Allow the chicken to simmer for 25 to 30 minutes, or up an hour if you want falling-of-the-bone tenderness. Ladle the chicken and sauce into a deep platter. Garnish with scallions and prepare to enjoy some savory, succulent chicken.
