An Island Chef

Continuing my Chinese Lunar New Year celebrations and I want to share one of my favourite recipes Soy sauce chicken. Although not roast in an oven or over an open flame it is considered to be a type of Siu Mei. It is sold in Cantonese BBQ shops alongside classic Chinese style BBQ meats like Char Sui. While the authentic recipe calls for a whole chicken, I prefer to simplify the cooking process and use chicken thighs. Soy Sauce Chicken can be served as part of a Chinese feast or served simply with rice or noodles.
