Foodie Friday: Soy Sauce Chicken

Soy sauce chicken: whole chicken braised with sweet-salty soy sauce marinade

If I can’t have Hainanese chicken, this is my go-to comfort dish. You can use a complex recipe here with fresh ingredients or just grab a bottle of Lee Kum Kee sauce (that’s what I do). It’s pretty much a teriyaki glaze over chicken. I love how you use the whole bird, though, and the skin stays flavorful and the meat moist. Basically, you throw the whole chicken (or chicken pieces if you’re lazy) in a pot and let it simmer there.

What’s an easy dish you like to make?
