Hawaiian Shoyu Chicken
- 1 lb chicken thigh, bone in, skin on
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1/4 cup and 2 tblsp soy sauce (Hawaiian Shoyu)
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 4 garlic cloves, peeled and smashed
- 3 inches piece ginger, sliced 1/8 to 1/16 inch thick
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch dissolved in 1-2 tablespoons water, to make a slurry
- 1 -2 green onion (to garnish)
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds (to garnish)
- Combine all the ingredients (except cornstarch slurry, green onions and sesame seeds) in a large pot and bring to a boil over high heat.
- Reduce to low and cook very slowly, covered, until chicken is tender, about 30 to 35 minutes more. Continue to skim the broth for fat and impurities.
- 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!
