This recipe is heavily inspired by a soy-glazed roasted version of a chicken dish which Chloe ate at a Hainanese chicken place in Kuala Lumpur. Now, this is in no way authentic, but you have got to try it.

    this is a really nourishing dish. we’ve been cooking this for a while and I always feel that there’s quite a lot of excess sauce left after cooking the chicken. I chuck the chopped chicken back in the sauce and quickly fry it to loosen and coat the chicken more. makes it 10x tastier and less waste of sauce!

    Loved this dish. I did not waste the chicken skins. I chopped up the skins and fried it with mashed garlic and red chillies to make a crispy garnish on top. Also added a bit of coriander.

    very tasty! I added bok choy during the cooking of the sauce and it added depth. I recommend grating ginger (adding double the recipe amount) for an extra kick. also recommend thinly slicing the garlic instead of smashing. The rice could also be substituted with a noodle as I found it went a little gloopy. Overall the chicken was amazing and the broth was delicious!

    this was super tasty! I didn’t have spring onions so used a leek, and seemed to work well. I also used black sesame seeds instead, drizzled a small amount of honey and kimchi sriracha on top, as well torn coriander leaves.

    Loved the caramelised soy chicken, thought the broth was a bit gingery (not a big fan of ginger) would look at adding lemon grass next time. Tasted even better the next day!

    Wow so good! I doubled the ginger and increased the garlic & spring onions. I also boosted the veg content by adding in some Chinese broccoli and bok choy when adding the remaining marinade. I also made the cucumber more of an Asian cucumber salad with rice vinegar, soy sauce, sesame oil. lots of alterations but honestly sooo good!

    Took some of the commentary to heart on the broth, and was spectacular. To add more flavor I added a bundle of cilantro, lemongrass, some chopped up spicy red chilis, extra ginger, and a pinch of Chinese 5 spice. It was so so so good.

    This was okay. The ingredient list made me think this would be full of flavor, yet it fell flat. It was okay and I’m happy my kids ate it. I probably won't make this again.

    Tasted very good. Following other reviewers’ comments, I added extra ginger and garlic to the broth. Will be making this again

    Super tasty. I used regular soy with sugar for the marinade and it turned out lovely.
