🌺 Hawaiian-Style Shoyu Chicken (Sweet Soy Chicken)
🛒 Ingredients:
6–8 chicken thighs (bone-in, skin-on for best flavor)
1 cup soy sauce
1 cup water
1 cup brown sugar
4 cloves garlic (minced)
1-inch piece fresh ginger (sliced or grated)
🍳 Instructions:
Combine the sauce
In a pot or deep pan, mix soy sauce, water, brown sugar, garlic, and ginger.
Add the chicken
Place chicken thighs into the pot, skin side down first.
Simmer gently
Bring to a boil, then lower heat and simmer uncovered for about 30–40 minutes. Turn chicken halfway through.
Thicken the sauce (optional)
Let the sauce reduce until slightly thick and glossy. You can spoon it over the chicken as it cooks.
Serve
Serve hot over rice. Spoon extra sauce on top—this is the best part!
🍍 Optional Add-ons:
Pineapple chunks (for a sweeter tropical twist)
Green onions for garnish
A splash of rice vinegar for balance
💡 Tips:
The longer it simmers, the deeper the flavor
Works great in a slow cooker (4–5 hours on low)
Tastes even better the next day!
