Directions:
- Mix sugar, soy sauce, water, garlic, and ginger in a large stock pot and stir until sugar is dissolved. Place chicken in stock pot and bring to a boil. Using tongs, turn chicken in the pot every 5 minutes.
- Boil chicken for about 35 minutes. The chicken should not be pink at the bone; an instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). The sauce mixture would have turned into a rich, brown glaze.
- Remove pot from heat and let cool 10 minutes. Serve soy sauce chicken garnished with chopped green onions.
Tip: To make this soy sauce chicken recipe even healthier, remove chicken skin before cooking to reduce fat.
