HAWAIIAN SHOYU CHICKEN
This is a Hawaiian dish that uses a Chinese cooking method with Japanese ingredients. You can literally find 100s of Shoyu chicken recipes in Hawaii and every household has it's own twist. The key if you want to be "authentic" is to use Hawaiian Shoyu, it's a bit sweeter than normal soy sauce (Shoyu means soy sauce in Japanese) which you can find in any Asian market. The basics of Shoyu chicken is poaching the chicken in soy sauce and other ingredients. If you like teriyaki chicken the flavor profile is very similar. I have friends that use Teriyaki sauce in their Shoyu chicken recipes.

Tips:
- Choose the right chicken: Use a whole chicken, cut into pieces, or boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs for this recipe. Make sure the chicken is fresh and of good quality.
- Make sure the chicken is well coated in the marinade: The marinade helps to flavor the chicken and keep it moist during cooking. Make sure to coat the chicken evenly in the marinade and let it sit for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
- Use a hot pan: When searing the chicken, use a hot pan over medium-high heat. This will help to create a nice sear on the outside of the chicken while keeping the inside moist.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When searing the chicken, don't overcrowd the pan. This will cause the chicken to steam instead of sear. Cook the chicken in batches if necessary.
- Cook the chicken until it is cooked through: Use a meat thermometer to check that the chicken is cooked through. The internal temperature of the chicken should be 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Let the chicken rest before serving: After cooking the chicken, let it rest for a few minutes before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the chicken, making it more tender and flavorful.
