Soy sauce chicken 豉油鸡 is a classic Cantonese dish that is both easy to prepare and delicious. The end of cooking this dish should be juicy, tender chicken coated in a rich, savoury soy sauce with a hint of cinnamon and star anis aroma. In this recipe, Roland used whole chicken legs, but you can use a whole chicken too. Once you have marinated the chicken for 10 mins, all you have to do is cook the chicken for 15 minutes, then turn off the heat and leave it in the sauce for another 30 minutes. Super easy! The key to making this dish delicious is to not overcook the chicken and to use high-quality soy sauce. This recipe is incredibly simple and delicious. Hope you enjoy it!

Don’t know where to get the ingredients or don’t know how they look like? See the links below.
Light soy sauce
Dark soy sauce (we’ve never tried this brand before so you gotta trial and error until you find a good premium dark soy sauce. The one we use has a really nice consistency – it’s not too thick but not too watery. It’s also not too salty and has a slight tinge of sweetness. The main purpose of dark soy sauce is to give your dish a dark colour with a really nice caramel taste)
Cinnamon stick
Star anise
Chinese rice wine
Cornflour

Chef… I grew up on this dish and despite being 63 years of age I never tried to cook it myself. I followed your directions and cooked this dish this evening and it came out looking as anything I've see in NY, SF, London or Hong Kong. Then I bit into it and I was literally in heaven. My wife sampled and said your recipe is absolutely delicious.Thank you!
Two requests recipe requests please…

#2: Roast pork in a thick light brown sauce (shanghai dish)

Hi Chef, I tried your recipe today. I substituted chicken wings for chicken legs. The dish was yummy. My family loved it. Chicken was cooked through and yet, very tender. Will certainly cook this dish again. Thank you for sharing your recipe.
So good! Thx for this recipe!
I wish you could make your recipes printable please
Can I ask what premium dark soy sauce are you using? I am currently using the red date dark soy sauce and it tastes somewhat sweet. Do you have any suggestions for premium dark soy sauce? Thanks you!
Can used half of whole chicken?
Can you replace the rock sugar with normal sugar?
If it were chicken wings, any idea how long and cook/rest time would be?
Made this and everyone loved it. Thaks again Roland. Btw, can I ask the reason for leaving the garlic skin on?
❤
Where do you get rock sugar from what store
Looks yummy guys. ❤
Hi, I’ve used this recipe twice and it’s yummy. But I run into same problem caramelising the rock sugar. After I poured in water the sugar started to solidify and I’ve to stir pretty vigorously to melt it. Any idea what I could have done wrong?
Hi Chef, thank you for sharing your recipe! I hope to be able to get star anise in my area!
looks good but the sodium levels must be insane 😂
Why the chicken looks so red? I am sure is delicious but red chicken?
Fantastic recipe!!!
Hi Chef Roland, can we omit the rock sugar part. As my family has high blood sugar that needs control
can I use regular sugar to caramelize instead if I don't have rock sugar?
Hi Chef… Can we use brown sugar instead of rock sugar…
chicken adobo🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭
Next time fried😄
I don't have rock sugar. But maybe I'll use brown sugar as a replacement
Yummy 😊
