Shoyu Chicken is delicious, cheap and easy to make. It's a Hawaiin dish that can be made a lot of ways, but the key is chicken thighs or drummies and soy sauce ("Shoyu" in Japanese, I believe). I make mine in a 1.5 qt Dutch Oven.
Serves 6:
5-6 Lbs of Chicken Thighs with skin
2 cups of Soy
2 cups Chicken Broth
1 cup water
1 cup brown sugar
1 tbsp honey
8 garlic cloves, smashed and cut up
4" long, .5" thick slice of fresh ginger, smashed and cut up (maybe 1/4" cup?)
1 shallot cut into small pieces
1. Mix ingredients into dutch oven
2. Brown chicken in oil
3. Bring ingredients to a boil
4. Put chicken in dutch oven, turn down to low (2-3 on electric stove)
5. Let simmer for at least 1 hour. I usually let simmer for 3-4 hours until chicken may fall apart if not grasped well.
6. Eat delicious slow cooked chicken.
Serve with wild rice (white rice if traditional), fresh lettuce bed and chives or fresh cut green onions. Add sesame seeds for a nice look.
