Shoyu Chicken

[@jennifervarner7189]

I think his commentary was GREAT!He was precise and answered all the questions as to how to do the dish properly. He was teaching. I didn't get offended at all.

[@coplock6689]

You taught me something. I never knew about adding the slurry and the boiling of it. Thank you. Great video, I'm going to try. Thanks for sharing.

[@michaelquinn3382]

Love this guys attention to detail, literally the physics of cooking.

[@jackspal]

Love love love this recipe.

[@ewagirl96706]

When I make this dish in a crock pot I use the same recipe except I leave out the chicken broth since the crock pot will make it's own moisture and if you add in the broth it tends to get a little too watery. Also, adding in about 1/2 to 3/4 cups of pineapple juice also adds greats flavor and I think helps to tenderize the chicken at the same time. Winnahs!

[@missfetisha]

+Rina M pineapple juice? ooo i never thought of that! sounds mean. gotta try this. thank you

[@ewagirl96706]

+missfetisha Yes try it! So good ^_^

[@Espressolovah]

Oh yummmmm

[@pkodani72]

Don't need chicken broth because the chicken has enough flavor. Shoyu sauce for shoyu chicken is like making Chicken stock minus the water. The shoyu is the liquid

[@mamatekeikikamawaelualanik4573]

I jes luv dis show. I can cook but i give respect to Keoni. His mouth "waters" as he talks ja like he's so ono for his food he's teaching about. I do da same ting. Mahalo nui. Iesu pu.

[@hawaiidispenser]

Made this and it turned out great! Only changes I made was I added 1 whole star anise for that slight licorice flavor and instead of crushing an entire bulb of garlic (which seemed wasteful), I just minced 4 cloves.

[@jocelynbaldwin9361]

Taste ono! I cooked da chicken thighs just like your recipe and technique. Mahalo.

[@Lauranessa1]

Yay this was good info! So excited to make this for my hunnie! I will try this at once!!!

[@KAILABABEZ69]

Omg I love Chef Keoni and Hostess Cheryl! I have learned how to cook/prepare meals local style for my Ohana bottom line. My family are happy campers all I gotta say lol omg they love everything Ive tried so far. Mochiko chicken, Meat Jun and Mac Salad. Tonight Im making the shoyu chicken for tmrw's lunch with my Okazuya corned beef potatoe patties. Chef Keoni and Chery have the best chemistry I just love these two, theyre able to just push out the recipes and get the meals done for viewers like me who wishes to learn flat out that's all that matters. The other commentators are way too involved with analyzing petty things lol so crazy these other comments. Keep up the good work to Keoni and Cheryl, you guys da bestest! I love watching you both, feels like old Hawaii local boy and local girl all da way kine ways. Mahalo you guys and God bless

[@wlcutler]

Thanks for mentioning the mochiko chicken.

[@crhawaii95]

this was perfect! thank you for all the explainations, fantastic teacher...mahalo!!!!

[@Fingerpikr]

little lemon zest and juice in the sauce, and some honey at the end will bring out the shine on the chicken.....I also use Sherry in my Shoyu,Tamari dishes. Adds a nice extra layer of flavor....

[@TheRealFrankSerpico]

My mom would add Mirin and seasoned sushi vinegar, bay leaf and Ajinomoto

[@eleones]

Totally love your technique of separating and straining the sauce and thickening it gradually. I'm going to try with your recommended soup stock instead of water as well. I came across another interesting video of someone using a some Jack Daniels (or cooking sake) along with star anise. Any experience or thoughts on if that might work well flavor-wise? While I like char siu pork and pork buns, I don't want to risk star anise overpowering the traditional flavors in shoyu chicken. Cheers!

[@billzebub7397]

Omg these two!

[@anthonyfuga5344]

All I know is when I return to Honolulu, I'm going straight to foodland, for their Pasteles, poke, and kimchee crab, with a glass of Jack's Honey whiskey : ) one stop shop : )

[@jonathanyee6844]

Enjoy the little facts like the ratio & what to look for for the cornstarch thickening or the spoon test for the gravy.

[@rainyday9068]

what is the ratio of shoyu and brown sugar?

[@ke2]

Go to the link in the description. The recipe is there.

[@rainyday9068]

@@ke2 thank you. I will do that.

[@Perseycat]

What is the correct amount of shoyu to add? The website recipe doesn’t make sense. It says 3/2 cups of shoyu to 4 cups of broth.

[@kananicruz4394]

No Pepper corn?

[@cgonzman9023]

Is there a reason why you wouldn’t want to brown the chicken before putting it into the pot? Seems like that would give it more flavor.

[@ra1der5]

Been looking at several shoyu chicken recipes and settled on this. Thank you! Note: the link takes you to the website, not the recipe. Search for “shoyu” on the website and it will pop up. A couple questions; 1) The recipe calls for 3/2 cups shoyu. So, 1 1/2 cups; right? Just making sure it’s not a typo (which would double the shoyu). 2) The recipe calls for 4 TBSP corn starch plus 4 TBSP water to make the slurry, but then it also calls for another 3 TBSP water. What is the additional 3 TBSP water for? I don’t see it used in the vid. In advance, thanks for your help. “ And may the odds be ever in your favor! “

[@808foodlover]

Nice job. do you have a slow cooker adapted recipe or just go with the same measurements as this recipe.

[@keithfreitas2983]

No broth..

I put vinegar in my shoyu chicken. I call it shodobo chicken. Also add peppercorn and bay leaf.

[@keithfreitas2983]

[@kaneohe97]

[@keolamatsushige8088]

I thought you are supposed to soak the chicken overnight so taste better. When u cook um the next day. But try um this way. Mahalo's bradda keoni 🤙🌋🗿

[@kamapuaa666]

Ok, this is driving me a little nuts. Did they reverse the audio panning for this video? Like is the chef panned hard right, and the lady panned hard left?

[@retahdude]

If this was a cooking show on cable, it would only have 1 season with 5 episodes

[@SomeUrbanNinja]

This video has something wrong with the audio. I'm hearing something high pitched, and each speaker is coming through different ears on headphones, and sounds strange.

[@808asianqt]

You're missing the star ingredient for this dish buddy!! "STAR ANISE" is what makes a very good shoyu chicken!!

[@harriet677]

Mike dude star anise is not an ingredient we use in Hawaii for shoyu chicken

[@kaneohe97]

No need star anise unless you like that licorice flavor but most shoyu chicken recipes I seen no have star anise.

[@mattneillninasmom]

If you lightly pan fry the chicken pieces first in butter/oil/garlic/ginger you'll greatly intensify the flavor before placing in the sauce!

[@MWong2005]

How would you cook this in a slow cooker or instapot?

[@keithfreitas2983]

No broth..

Why skim the fat? When you grab 1 piece chicken with thongs or fork the fat is not coming along with it

[@TeaandFiona]

Cause he like make one fancy sauce to pour over. If no like sauce then no need skim fat

[@keithfreitas2983]

Sauce go good on rice. Skim da fat no chew da fat..

[@Sysaphys]

Are you using low sodium soy or broth? Typically, water is used to lower the amount of sodium that's typically found in soy. If you're using regular soy sauce AND a chicken broth with sodium AND it's being reduced, the amount of sodium in your dish has got to be through the roof. Yeah it might "taste" better but at what cost to your health?

[@lipstickprincess1]

Nothing beats Kikomen.
