Soy Sauce Chicken

This succulent Soy Sauce Chicken recipe delivers tender, flavorful meat with a rich, aromatic glaze that’s simply irresistible. The dish starts with fresh chicken, gently simmered with scallions and ginger to infuse depth, while a blend of soy sauce, nutty sesame oil, and caramel-like brown rock sugar creates a perfectly balanced sweet-savory sauce. A quick sear in cooking oil locks in moisture before slow simmering ensures juicy, fall-off-the-bone tenderness. The result? Glossy, golden-brown chicken with melt-in-your-mouth texture and a fragrant umami finish. Perfect for family dinners or special occasions, this easy yet impressive recipe brings authentic, restaurant-quality flavor to your table in just 30 minutes. Serve sliced over rice or noodles to soak up every drop of the delicious sauce!
