FIVE-SPICE SHOYU CHICKEN

Steps:

• Cut up chicken Chinese style (Cut off the end of the bone in the drumstick, cut each thigh in half, cut each wing into 2 segments with meat, and cut the breasts into strips transversely through the carcass with a heavy cleaver).
• Do not debone chicken.
• Combine the teriyaki sauce, five spice powder, cilantro, sesame oil, wine, and soy sauce.
• For added flavor, combine ingredients and marinate chicken for 12-24 hours before cooking.
• Add sauce and chicken to large saucepan of wok and bring to a simmer.
• Cook, covered, at least 30 minutes or until chicken cooked through.
• If time permits, cook for up to 1 hour on low heat- the longer cook time will get the chicken fall-off-the-bones tender.
• Serve warm with rice (Also makes great leftovers).

SHOYU CHICKEN

Steps:

• Whisk together the soy sauce, brown sugar, water, garlic, onion, ginger, black pepper, oregano, red pepper flakes, cayenne pepper, and paprika in a large glass or ceramic bowl. Add the chicken thighs, and toss to evenly coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap, and marinate the chicken in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat, and lightly oil the grate.
• Remove the chicken thighs from the marinade. Discard the remaining marinade. Grill the chicken thighs on the preheated grill until cooked through, about 15 minutes per side.

HAWAIIAN SHOYU CHICKEN

Steps:

• Combine all the ingredients (except cornstarch slurry, green onions and sesame seeds) in a large pot and bring to a boil over high heat.
• Reduce to low and cook very slowly, covered, until chicken is tender, about 30 to 35 minutes more. Continue to skim the broth for fat and impurities.
• Remove chicken to a serving platter. Strain the sauce and bring to a boil. Thicken with the cornstarch slurry, adding it very slowly to avoid any clumps to desired thickness.
• Glaze over the chicken. Garnish with slices of green onion.
• Suggestion: Save some of the sauce, it goes wonderfully over rice, the dish tastes better the second day -- ;-)
• Serve with rice, and what the heck, mac salad! Onolicious!
