Shoyu (soy sauce) Chicken is a popular dish in Hawaii. Although it's not totally "clean" because of the amount of soy sauce and sugar, it is super tasty and something different to do with chicken. You can usually find drumsticks for $1/lb so this is a very inexpensive meal. You could certainly try doing this with boneless skinless chicken to cut back on the fat but having the bone-in chicken really gives this the flavor. We only eat this every few months.
1 pkg (5-6 pieces) chicken drumsticks or thighs
water
5-6 garlic cloves
2 thumb sized pieces of fresh ginger - peeled
1 cup low sodium soy sauce
1/2 cup brown sugar
sesame seeds
Place chicken, garlic and ginger to a pot and add just enough water to cover the chicken. Bring to a boil and cover slightly with the lid (you want some steam to escape). Let this boil for 30min. Then, add the shoyu and sugar. Reduce heat to a simmer and let simmer for 3+ hours (the longer the better) keep the lid slightly ajar. Serve over ice and top with sesame seeds.
