Thanks so much for this recipe! It’s delicious and my kids love it (big plus there)! The only thing I did differently was adding whole hard-boiled eggs (eggshells removed first!) to the dish about 15mins before the flame is turned off. The eggs get this nice light brown color and is a very nice contrast to the chicken. This has become a total fave!

Hi Azusa, I just wanted to thank you, once more, for another simple and luscious dish discovery. I have already made Shoyu Chicken twice (have almost forgotten to say I have posted it yesterday), am planning it for this weekend and frankly it’s on a good way to become such a regular guest on our table as your tomato and shiso salad. Thank you for this lovely idea!

B, thanks for the tip about using chicken breasts. I don’t see why it wouldn’t work in a crockpot—I bet the meat would be even more tender with a slow cook. Mmm~!

thank you again for ANOTHER great recipe! made this tonight, it was delicious! i added some ginger and garlic and 1 extra tablespoon of rice vinegar, per the comments. dh prefers white meat so i included some chicken breasts. i was worried it would be dry but he said it was great. i did overcook it just a tad so some pieces were a tad dry but still really good – i’ll just keep a better eye on it next time. i’m curious if anyone’s tried this in the crockpot before?

Aspiring Chef—yes, I’ve halved it and it works beautifully. Would love to hear how yours turns out!

Does anyone know if the recipe works just as well if you half it?

Azusa!!! I’ve never gotten so many compliments on my cooking before! I dropped some off at my mom’s house and she called me to rave about it!

Julie, I’ll have to try adding ginger and garlic next time. I was also thinking of upping the amount of vinegar, too, to give the flavor a little kick!

i love seeing variations on shoyu chicken – my “family recipe” omits everything except the shoyu and sugar and adds in ginger + scant garlic. i’ll have to give this version a try – the accompanying photo is certainly mouth-watering!
