Soy Sauce Chicken

Overview

[Soy Sauce Chicken] is a favorite dish of Cantonese people, and our family also likes it very much. This dish can be eaten in tea restaurants. The chicken is wrapped in a thick soy sauce sauce and goes very well with rice. Although the cooking process only takes 20 minutes, the cooked chicken is very delicious. When choosing soy sauce, it is recommended to use soy sauce with a stronger flavor. Because the cooking process of chicken only takes 20 minutes, choosing a soy sauce with a strong flavor will absorb the flavor faster. If the chicken with light soy sauce is cooked without flavor and the chicken is cooked for too long, the taste will be affected. The adjective "soy sauce" is "light soy sauce"; generally speaking, light soy sauce is called soy sauce in Cantonese. This dish can be said to be a side dish, and it is even more delicious when paired with a bowl of fragrant rice. The preparation process is very simple and the cooking time is not very long. You can give it a try.
