From Cooking Light, the soy sauce mixture in this recipe turns the chicken a deep, dark reddish brown hue and imparts loads of delicious flavor. The aroma of these cooking is wonderful!

1/4 cup sherry wine

  • Serve the thighs over the threads/noodles.

  • Note: you can also use drumsticks instead of thighs, but do take the skin off to make sure the meat gets all the flavor! :).
