Obas Shoyu Chicken

Submitted by chicagorob

"This is the easiest and best tasting Hawaiian chicken dish I've ever found. I made it for my church's luau and the chicken ran out long before the roast pig did."

 

• Ready In: 55mins
• Ingredients: 6
• Serves: 8

ingredients

• 12 boneless chicken thighs (or a mix of boneless thighs and breasts)

• 2 cups water
• 1 clove crushed garlic
• 1 small chopped onion
• 1 cup sugar

directions

1. Put the soy sauce, water, garlic, onion, and sugar in a large pot.

4. If the sauce tastes good then throw in the chicken and simmer about 45 minutes.
5. The liquid ingredients should thicken to a very good sauce.

I usually only make half or 1/4 the suggested amount, and I only use chicken breast, but this is so simple and so tasty that it became and instant favorite. Love it!

My sister recommended this recipe and I am glad she did. This is also a common dish at Japanese-themed pot lucks as well. You can also increase the amount of water or lower the shoyu content, use chicken wings and serve cold. A popular dish for parties and pot lucks!
