Lee Kum Kee Soy Sauce Chicken

Just like in my favorite Chinese restaurant, this Lee Kum Kee Soy Sauce Chicken hits the spot! It’s flavorful, aromatic, and has the most delicious sauces!

Lee Kum Kee Soy Sauce Chicken

If you’re fond of Chinese food, then I’m sure Soy Sauce Chicken is one of those on top of your list. I mean, how can you not like it — it’s full of flavor, it has the most delicious sauces, and it practically calls out your name when you see it hanging from the restaurant window or the kitchen window of your favorite Chinese restaurant.

If only somebody told me how easy it is to prepare this Soy Sauce Chicken at home, I would have done it years ago– and frequently too — and not wait until I can drop by our favorite Chinese restaurant whenever I have the craving.

Lee Kum Kee Soy Sauce

I recently discovered Lee Kum Kee Soy Sauce one day at the supermarket when I was buying oyster sauce. In all honesty, I am a fan of all things Lee Kum Kee especially the oyster sauce, sesame oil, hoisin sauce, chili garlic sauce, and the charsiu sauce. But somehow, I didn’t know they have soy sauce and good thing I discovered it too because it tastes really good — just perfect when you’re planning to cook something that has soy sauce as its main ingredient.

For this recipe, I used Lee Kum Kee Premium Soy Sauce. You can tell by the rich soy flavor and aroma that it’s made from high quality soy bean. Of course, it is brewed according to the traditional and natural method too.

The result was this nicely browned and rich Soy Sauce Chicken that is just fantastic when served with it’s braising sauce, Ginger Sauce and hot steaming rice.

The recipe is below. It’s super easy to make. Thanks to Ykaie for helping in the kitchen and grating the ginger for the Ginger Sauce.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 Chicken
  • 1 tbsp oil
  • 2 inch knob of ginger, sliced thinly
  • 6 stalks green onions, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 2 star anise
  • 1/2 cup rice wine, (I used Mijiu because that’s what I have on hand but you can also use shaoxing)
  • 3/4 cup Lee Kum Kee Premium Soy Sauce
  • 3/4 cup dark soy sauce
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 5 cups water

Ginger Sauce

  • 5 tbsp grated Ginger
  • 3 cloves garlic grated
  • 10 stalks of green onions, chopped finely
  • 4 tbsp of soya or canola oil
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil

  2. Pour in rice wine and bring to a boil. Simmer for 5 minutes until alcohol evaporates. You’ll know the alcohol has evaporated when the smell becomes sweeter.
  3. Pour in Lee Kum Kee Premium Soy Sauce, dark soy sauce. Add star anise, white sugar, salt, and water.
  4. Stir and bring to a boil; Lower heat and simmer for 10 minutes.
  5. Add the chicken and bring to a boil again. Simmer the chicken for 30-45 minutes or you can use a meat thermometer to check if it’s done.Temperaure should be 165ºF at the thickest part of the chicken.
  6. Make the Ginger Sauce while chicken is simmering. Grate the ginger and garlic. Squeeze out the juice from the ginger and garlic mixture then add the green onions and salt.
  7. In a small pot, heat soya or canola oil and sesame oil.
  8. Pour it onto the ginger, garlic, green onion, mixture and let it sit to infuse.
  9. Remove the chicken from the pot and let it rest for 10 minutes before serving.
  10. Chop the chicken and serve it with the Ginger Sauce, the sauce it was boiled in, and steaming hot rice.

Notes

This serving is good for a family of three or four

  53. My son loves chicken and I am sure he will love this too. I will try to cook this for him on weekends.

  58. Thanks for the recipe! Wondering if I can save the used soy sauce for next time when making this again.

  59. What do you do with the remaining sauce? Feels like a waste to discard over the chicken is cooked

  60. This recipe looks so good. My problem is that my husband and I are on a low sodium diet. Do you have the sodium count per serving. I also get quite frustrated by comments that say a recipe looks very good without having tried it. I love feedback and find it so helpful in trying a new recipe. I wish that readers would withhold comment until after trying a recipe. Buthelezi way, I agree that this does look really good!

  62. Sobrang sarap ng manok ❤️ i would love to try it mommy. Nakakatakam. Pwedeng gawin sa kahit na anong okasyon.

    P.S I wish I could post a picture of them, so you can see how beautiful they look!
