See Yao Gai – Chicken in Soy Sauce
Pane-Bistecca
This chicken in soy sauce is based on a traditional Hong Kong recipe. You can eat very fine chicken cooked in soy sauce in Hong Kong. The skin of the chicken turns quite dark brown in the process. My chicken is cooked entirely in this soy sauce, it becomes quite tender and fine and the sauce that is created is mega delicious.
Soy sauce chicken belongs to the family of various fried meats (Siu Mei 燒味) and stewed meats (Lou Mei 滷味). You can often find this meat in the small restaurants and Dai Pai Dongs along with roasted duck, roasted pork, Char Siu and white chicken.
