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!

Dark soy sauce https://amzn.to/3q9bXoW (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)
