Number Of Ingredients 8

2 pounds mixed chicken parts, on the bone
1/2 cup homemade chicken broth
1/2 cup water
2 tablespoons black soy sauce
2 ounces rock sugar, about 1/4 cup
2 teaspoons vegetable oil
1 1/2 cups sliced ginger, about 6 ounces
1/2 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • With a meat clever, chop the chicken through the bone, into 2-inch pieces, or disjoint into several pieces. In a small saucepan, combine the chicken broth, 1/2 cup water, soy sauce, and rock sugar. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook until the sugar is completely dissolved, about 5 minutes. Set aside. Heat a 14-inch skillet over high heat until hot but not smoking. Add oil and ginger, and stir-fry until ginger is lightly browned, about 1 minute. Bring ginger to the sides of the skillet. Reduce heat to medium, and carefully add the chicken, skin side down, spreading it in the skillet. Cook, undisturbed, 3 to 4 minutes, adjusting heat between medium-high to let the chicken brown. Then, using a metal spatula , turn the chicken over and pan-fry 3 to 4 minutes, or until chicken is browned on the other side, but not cooked through. Pour off any excess fat, redistribute the ginger, and sprinkle the chicken with salt. Quickly drizzle chicken broth mixture down the sides of skillet, and immediately cover. Cook, covered, on medium heat 4 minutes. Turn the chicken, reduce heat to low, and cook 3 to 4 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through. Serve immediately.;

Soy-Ginger Chicken image

FLAVOR BOOSTER Chicken thighs and drumsticks are not as lean as breast meat, but they have great flavor and stay juicy when cooked by long and slow methods such as braising. Here, they are braised in an oil-free liquid seasoned with soy sauce, brown sugar, fresh ginger, garlic, cilantro, balsamic vinegar, scallions, and ground spices.

Yield serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/3 cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons dark-brown sugar
5 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
2/3 cup fresh cilantro, coarsely chopped, plus whole leaves for garnish
1 piece fresh ginger (about 2 inches), peeled and cut into thin strips
5 scallions, trimmed and thinly sliced on the diagonal (1 cup packed)
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1/2 teaspoon ground pepper
4 chicken drumsticks and 4 thighs (about 2 1/2 pounds total), skin removed
2 medium carrots, thinly sliced crosswise
1 cup plus 1 tablespoon water
1 tablespoon cornstarch
Cooked rice, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. In a 5-quart Dutch oven or other heavy pot, stir together soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, cilantro, ginger, 1/2 cup scallions, the vinegar, coriander, and pepper. Add chicken and carrots; toss to coat, then stir in 1 cup water. Cover pot and transfer to oven; cook until chicken is tender, about 1 1/2 hours. Using a large spoon, skim off any fat from surface of cooking liquid.
  • In a 2-cup glass measuring cup or small bowl, whisk cornstarch with remaining 1 tablespoon water. Ladle 1 cup cooking liquid into measuring cup; whisk to combine. Pour into a small saucepan, and bring to a boil; cook until thickened, about 1 minute. Stir mixture into pot to combine.
