Rice Cooker Soy Sauce Chicken

Ingredients

• 2 chicken legs (large)
• 1 handful ginger (sliced)
• 1 handful shallots (sliced)
• 1 handful spring onions (sliced; fresh or frozen)
• 1.5 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 tsp oyster sauce
• 1 tsp dark soy sauce (estimated quantity for color)
• 1 tsp rice vinegar (estimated quantity)
• 1 tbsp cooking oil (to coat the rice cooker bowl)

Steps

1. 1

   Prepare the chicken by pouring hot water over the chicken legs. This helps tighten the skin and reduces excess moisture and fat for a better final texture.

2. 2

   In a large bowl, combine the chicken legs with the sliced ginger, shallots, and spring onions.

3. 3

   Add the soy sauce, oyster sauce, dark soy sauce, and rice vinegar to the chicken and aromatics.

4. 4

   Mix everything thoroughly to ensure the chicken is well-coated, then let it marinate for 20 minutes.

5. 5

   Coat the inner bowl of your rice cooker with cooking oil.

6. 6

   Place the marinated chicken and aromatics into the rice cooker and pour any remaining marinade over the top.

7. 7

   Set the rice cooker to cook for 30 minutes. Once the time is up, the chicken should be tender and ready to serve.

Notes

Pouring hot water over the chicken before marinating is a professional tip to ensure the skin tightens and cooks beautifully. The creator mentions using frozen spring onions works perfectly well for this dish.
