Soy-Glazed Chicken
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1/2 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- Sesame seeds and sliced green onions for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup soy sauce, 1/4 cup honey, 2 tablespoons rice vinegar, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1 teaspoon grated ginger, and 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes.
- Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag and pour half of the soy sauce mixture over the chicken. Seal the bag and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours.
- In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the marinade. Add the chicken to the skillet and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
- Pour the remaining soy sauce mixture into the skillet and simmer for 2-3 minutes, or until the sauce thickens and coats the chicken.
- Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing. Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions if desired.
- Serve the soy-glazed chicken with steamed rice and your favorite vegetables. Enjoy!
Soy-glazed chicken is a popular dish with origins in East Asia, particularly in China, Japan, and Korea. The dish features succulent chicken marinated in a flavorful blend of soy sauce, garlic, ginger, and other seasonings, then grilled or roasted to perfection. Renowned chefs like Nobu Matsuhisa and David Chang have put their own unique spins on this classic dish, elevating it to gourmet status. In recent years, it has become a staple in many Asian fusion restaurants around the world. For the best version of this dish, head to a traditional Korean or Japanese restaurant where the chefs have mastered the art of balancing sweet and savory flavors in the soy glaze. The key to nailing this dish lies in achieving the perfect caramelization of the glaze, resulting in a sticky, umami-rich coating that complements the tender chicken. For a twist, consider using mirin or honey in the glaze for added depth of flavor.
