Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken: For this recipe, it's best to use a whole chicken that's about 2-3 pounds. You can also use chicken pieces, but the cooking time may vary.
  • Prepare the chicken: Rinse the chicken inside and out and pat it dry with paper towels. This will help the soy sauce penetrate the chicken more deeply.
  • Use a good quality soy sauce: The soy sauce is the main flavoring agent in this dish, so it's important to use a high-quality one. Look for a soy sauce that's dark and thick, with a rich flavor.
  • Don't overcrowd the pot: If you're using a whole chicken, make sure you have a pot that's large enough to accommodate it. If the chicken is too crowded, it won't cook evenly.
  • Cook the chicken over low heat: This will help the chicken to cook slowly and evenly, and it will also help to develop the flavor of the soy sauce.
  • Baste the chicken regularly: This will help to keep the chicken moist and flavorful. You can use a brush or a spoon to baste the chicken with the soy sauce mixture.
  • Let the chicken rest before serving: This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the chicken, making it more tender and flavorful.

Conclusion:

This black-skinned chicken recipe is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that's perfect for a weeknight meal. The chicken is cooked in a flavorful soy sauce mixture that gives it a rich, umami taste. The chicken is also tender and juicy, thanks to the slow-cooking process. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
