Shoyu Chicken

Very good!!! I cut the recipe back for 2 thighs. I used boneless, skinless thighs. I also topped it with fresh sliced scallions. I will be making this again. Thanks LavenderLynn for this recipe.

Really enjoyed this easy to make recipe! I halved the recipe with no problems. Very moist and delicious. I can see myself making this again.....Wish I'd read through some of the reviews and subbed brown sugar....think that might have made this even better. 5 stars for easy to make and great taste. Thanks for sharing! Made for PRMR tag.

Absolutely delicious! I made this for a potluck and everyone was raving. I made it just as directed and it's honestly fantastic, moist and slightly sweet. It was the first thing to go out of all the food there, and that's saying something.

Sensational!!! This turns out looking and tasting remarkable without a lot of work. This is one of those recipes I wished I had found years earlier. This recipe was made using a dry white wine, splenda for baking sugar blend and 2 slices of gingerroot. This will be happy enjoyed again, thanks for the post.

Made for ZWT 7. So easy! (Relief!) And so good! I did halve the recipe for me and DH, but was careful with the measurements. Used Kikkoman soy and brown sugar. I used dry sherry as I've seen before it's a sub for sake. (Sake is available at a local bottle store, but amazingly pricey, wonder why). I probably used a little more fresh ginger; love it. Had to use skinless boneless chicken breasts as I could not find the boneless thighs. I don't know if this is allowed, but I decided to slice the breasts thickly, and marinate it in the rest of the ingredients -- then it went into the wok. It was great, served with basmati and some sides. Thanks, LL!!

2011 favorites here you come! This was so, so good. Made for ZWT7. I'm gonna be honest here. DH is tired of all the new recipes from ZWT, so I fried chicken for him tonight. Yes...just plain ole fried chicken thighs. I, on the other hand, made Shoyu chicken for myself. Da... guess who was begging for "just one more bite"? Yep, DH. The flavor was outstanding. We sometimes have trouble grilling chicken on the gas grill, this takes its place. Hands Down. OMG, so glad I tried this dish. Okay... I've ranted on enough. This is already saved as my FIRST "keeper for 2011".... YUMMMM

I marinated the chicken with all the ingredients 2 hours. I drained the liquid in a bowl and I braised the chicken with the garlic and ginger pieces. After slightly roasted I added the reserved liquid and I cooked it covered until thought. Came out very tender and delicious!
We enjoyed this dish a lot. Served with some bami goreng.

So yummy that it I have given it a permanent home in my recipe collection. It was full of flavors and easy to make. I think next time I make it I will use low sodium soy sauce next time.

Loved this easy-to-make chicken dish! I made half of the recipe and used boneless skinless breasts. The ginger/garlic combination was perfect for this and the chicken was so tender. Quick, easy, tasty - thanks for posting the recipe!

Awesome!! This is definitely a keeper. It was so easy I was worried it could not be very good-boy was I wrong! My very picky teenager raved about it, and he raves about nothing much :) We will have to keep it on our rotation. I tried another Japanese dish tonight that had 750 great reviews, but we all liked this one so much better. Thanks for sharing.

This was definitely easy to make! I diced my chicken before I cooked it, and I do think this might have had something to do with it but I wanted it really saucy so I made 1.5 times the amount of sauce and I still found it wanted more sauce. The sauce was a little thin so I added 2tsp cornflour to some soy sauce and mirin. I also forgot the tip of adding the vinegar and think this would have made a difference to cut through the sweetness a little. Served with rice and a salad with miso dressing. My husband LOVED it and demanded it be made again soon!

I diced finely the ginger and the garlic clove. With 1/4 cup sugar it was a bit too sweet. DH said it was too sweet. So next time I'll use 1/8 cup sugar. And maybe 1 tablespoon oil. I used white wine. I used reduced sodium soy sauce. The chicken was cooked to perfection and the taste is great besides the sweetness. Thanks Lavender Lynn :) Made for the Zwizzle Chicks of ZWT

This was a terrific recipe, delicious and simple to make. I used a 2 teaspoons of rice vinegar as suggested by someone else, and it was just perfect. Thanks for sharing the recipe. Made for ZWT6.

This was wonderful! So easy to make, perfect for a weeknight, yet very tasty! Since I was only serving two, I cut the sauce ingedients in half, and only cooked two bone in, skin on thighs, as we have small appetites. After reading some of the other reviews, I decided to add a tablespoon of rice vinegar and 1 star anise to the sauce. We had plenty of sauce, including enough left over to coat two more pieces of chicken, so I'd say that the amount called for is perfect. I loved the beautiful mahogany color of the chicken, it just looked wonderful on the plate. Thanks for posting a wonderful recipe!

The first recipe in a long time that the entire family loved! We used a bag of Quorn tenders in place of the chicken so the vegetarians could enjoy it as well. I did't have any Sake so I used some wine from an open bottle in the fridge. I doubled the sauce, but the quorn absorbed most of it so next time I may triple the sauce! It was so good over rice. I will deffinately be adding this one to my cookbook.

Lynn, I made this recipe for dinner night before last exactly the way you gave it, except that I doubled it and used low sodium soy sauce. I also used a mixture of both boneless skinless Breasts and Thighs. My DGS and his friends gobbled this down so fast my head is still spinning. This was a fast and easy recipe that was absolutely delicious and not at all sweet or salty. Thank you for another great recipe.

some recipes from the zaar just look like winners as you prepare them for the first time...these chicken thighs looked so delicious gurgling in their shoyu bath that i wished that i had made three thighs for my dinner instead of my usual two...and my expectations were fulfilled...i cannot wait to prepare again....next time, after browning the chicken, i am going to remove the chicken, deglaze the pan with the wine, add the sugar, add the shoyu, mix together and reheat, then return the chicken for the 30 minute simmer.
