Chicken in soy sauce in a frying pan

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   For this recipe, I used two hams with a total weight of 1 kilogram. You can take other parts of the chicken, for example, thighs, or a small carcass for this weight. I divided each ham into 3 parts with a knife: I cut off the shin and cut the thigh in half.

2. Step 2:

   

   Put the chicken parts in a deep bowl, sprinkle them with salt and chopped garlic. Mix it up. It is necessary to salt with the expectation that the meat will be marinated in soy sauce, which is salty in itself. Instead of fresh garlic, you can use garlic powder and add it directly to the sauce.

3. Step 3:

   

   Preparing the refueling. Pour soy sauce and vegetable oil into a small deep container, pour ginger powder and mix everything. If you use garlic powder, then don't forget to add it here as well. I used the classic soy sauce, without flavoring additives, but next time I'll try to experiment.

5. Step 4:

   

   Fill the meat with marinade, mix it well and send it to the refrigerator for 2-3 hours, you can leave it overnight and cook it in the morning. During marinating, the chicken pieces will need to be mixed several times.

6. Step 5:

   

   Pour vegetable oil into the pan and warm it up well. We spread the chicken pieces together with the sauce in which they were marinated. Fry them on medium heat for 5 minutes on each side until a golden crust forms.

7. Step 6:

   

   Cover the pan with a lid and simmer the meat for 30 minutes on low heat. I stewed the chicken in its own juice and did not add any more oil or water.
