Clay-Pot Chicken in Oyster Sauce image

This dish is terrific on a cold winter night. I got the recipe from "A Spoonful of Ginger" by Nina Simonds. Also, I like the way the chicken is browned in step 2 and use that method whenever I have a recipe that calls for browning chicken. Prep time includes marinating time.

Categories     Chicken

Time 1h45m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons rice wine or 2 tablespoons sake
1 teaspoon sesame oil
4 whole scallions, ends trimmed, cut into 1 inch lengths
2 inches chunk fresh ginger, peeled, then cut into 6 slices
3 1/2-4 lbs chicken pieces, rinsed and drained
10 dried Chinese black mushrooms, soaked in hot water for 20 minutes until soft, stems removed, caps cut into thirds
1 1/2 cups chicken broth
3 tablespoons oyster sauce
3 tablespoons rice wine or 3 tablespoons sake
1 1/2 teaspoons sugar
1 teaspoon cornstarch, about, dissolved in
1 tablespoon water

Steps:

  • Mix the marinade ingredients in a large bowl, add the chicken pieces and turn to coat them with the marinade.
  • Cover with plastic wrap and let the chicken marinate for 30 minute or longer in the refrigerator.
  • Preheat oven to 475° Arrange the chicken pieces, with the marinade and the drained black mushrooms, on cookie sheets lined with aluminum foil.
  • Roast for 15 minutes, turning once, until the skin is golden. Remove.
  • Transfer the browned chicken and mushrooms to a clay pot, dutch oven, or a casserole with a lid. Add the braising sauce and heat until the liquid is boiling.
  • Reduce the heat to medium, partially cover, and cook for 45 minutes, until the meat is very tender.
  • Skim any fat from the surface.
  • The sauce should be slightly thick. If it hasn't thickened sufficiently, heat until boiling, add a little cornstarch dissolved in water, and cook, stirring, until the sauce has a smooth coating consistency.
  • Scoop the chicken and sauce onto a serving platter or serve from the pot.
  • Steamed rice and a vegetable go good with this dish.

This clay pot chicken in oyster sauce was a hit with my family! The chicken was tender and flavorful, and the sauce was rich and savory. I loved the way the clay pot cooked the chicken, it gave it a really nice crispy skin.
