This is a delicious and easy dish to make - Soy Sauce Chicken
I followed a recipe from Daydaycook.com
This is also the first time I cooked a whole chicken in a wok. It turned out great n I am very pleased with it.
I only changed the method by frying ginger n spring onion n added a stick of cinnamon.
Recipe
Ingredients
1 whole chicken - I bought a kampung chicken from the wet market
Some spring onions cut into about 2 inch lengths
About 6-7 slices of ginger
A little oil for frying
Chinese Dark soy sauce 100 ml ( I used Tai Hua brand)
Water 2 cups
Rock sugar about 2 medium pcs chopped smaller size easier to dissolve
1 pc of cinnamon stick
Some coarse salt to clean chicken
Method
For the chicken - clean the chicken remove the insides n rub salt into cavity .
I also chopped away the neck n the backside and the feet.
Wash away the salt n drain the water away.
Slice some ginger n chop the spring onions.
Heat the wok with a little oil.
Fry the ginger till fragrant n add in spring onions n fry a very short while.
Add in the water, dark sauce and rock sugar and the cinnamon.
When the water boils n all the sugar has dissolved
Place the chicken in carefully.
Then turn the chicken over to make sure the chicken is covered with the sauce .
Cover the wok n turn fire to medium high.
Cook for 20 minutes.
Uncover the wok n ladle the sauce over the chicken about 10 minutes. Please turn to low heat now.
The sauce will thicken and it will also decrease.
Remove on chopping board n wait another 10 minutes before cutting.
Ladle the remaining sauce into a bowl to spoon over the chicken or rice.
Enjoy!!!
Ready to eat
