Easy Chinese Soy-Braised Chicken

Easy Chinese Soy-Braised Chicken


1. Begin heating soy sauce and water over medium flame. Add ginger, sugar, cinnamon, and star anise.

2. Bring mixture to simmer and add chicken. Reduce heat to very low and cover casserole dish/pot. Make sure heat is as low as can be without turning off; simmering soy sauce can easily become rapidly boiling soy sauce, which can easily become a big mess to clean up.

3. Cook chicken for 15 to 20 minutes, depending on the size of the pieces. Cut one open to check for doneness. Ladle chicken from sauce mixture and serve as is. Or if you're handy with a cleaver, chop up those thighs into smaller pieces. Garnish with scallions.
