KOREAN FRIED CHICKEN (SOY AND GARLIC)

Steps:

• Make sauce with:.1/4 small onion, 2 cloves garlic (minced). 1/2 cup soy sauce. 1/4 cup mirin. 2 tablespoons brown sugar. 2 tablespoons ginger.
• Cook sauce 2 minutes.
• Dredge wings in corn starch fry in batches until they start to brown.
• After all wings have been fried the first time fry them again until they are golden brown.
• Coat wings with sauce (reheat and strain before coating wings).

SOY-GARLIC CHICKEN WITH FRIED RICE

Steps:

• Combine 3 tablespoons soy sauce, the sesame oil, sugar, sambal oelek and grated garlic in a shallow baking dish. Add the chicken and toss to coat; set aside while you fry the garlic and make the rice.
• Meanwhile, heat 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced garlic and cook, stirring, until golden and crisp, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove the garlic with a slotted spoon to a plate, leaving the oil in the skillet.
• Add the ginger to the skillet and cook over medium heat, stirring, until sizzling, about 20 seconds. Add the cabbage and a big pinch of salt. Cook, tossing, until lightly browned, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the rice and 1/2 teaspoon salt and cook, tossing occasionally, until toasted, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in the remaining 2 teaspoons soy sauce and all but 2 tablespoons scallions; season with salt.
• Heat another large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade, add 1 tablespoon water to the marinade and reserve. Season the chicken lightly with salt. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon vegetable oil and the chicken to the skillet. Cook until browned, about 3 minutes per side, adding the marinade to the skillet during the last 30 seconds of cooking and spooning it over the chicken.
• Divide the rice and chicken among plates. Top with the fried garlic and reserved 2 tablespoons scallions.

GARLIC SOY CHICKEN

Steps:

• Make sesame vegetables:
• In a heavy skillet heat vegetable oil over moderate heat until hot but not smoking and cook bell pepper, mushrooms, scallions, and red pepper flakes, stirring, until vegetables are golden and cooked through, about 5 minutes. Toss vegetables with sesame oil and salt and pepper to taste.
• Make chicken:
• In a small bowl combine soy sauce, Sherry, brown sugar, garlic, gingerroot, and salt and pepper taste and stir until sugar is dissolved. Gently pound chicken between 2 sheets of plastic wrap until about 1/4 inch thick. In a large sealable plastic bag marinate chicken in soy sauce mixture, turning occasionally, 25 minutes.
• In a heavy skillet heat oil over moderate heat until hot but not smoking. Remove chicken from marinade, letting excess drip off and reserving marinade, and cook until browned and cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes on each side. Transfer chicken to plate and keep warm. Pour reserved marinade through a sieve into skillet and boil until reduced to about 2 tablespoons.
• Drizzle chicken with sauce and serve with sesame vegetables.

SOY-GARLIC FRIED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Roast garlic: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Cut head of garlic in half horizontally to expose the cloves (you don't need to cut all the way through). Drizzle the cut surface with olive oil, close the halves back together, and wrap securely in a double layer of foil. Roast until the cloves are tender and golden brown, 45-60 minutes. Unwrap and set aside to cool.
• Soy-Garlic Glaze: In a medium bowl, add kecap manis, white soy sauce, sherry vinegar, and red pepper flakes. When garlic is cool enough to handle, gently squeeze the roasted cloves into the bowl. Stir with a spoon to break up the cloves, then whisk until combined (it's okay to leave some small pieces!). Set aside.(Note: Makes a little less than 2 cups of Soy-Garlic Glaze. Leftover Soy-Garlic Glaze can be stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.)
• Cure chicken: In a large bowl, add salt and mustard and onion powders, and combine until well blended. Add the chicken pieces and get in there with your hands to coat each piece well. Put the coated pieces of chicken on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, keeping the skin intact; lightly cover with parchment paper or plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or up to overnight.
• Bring the cured chicken to room temperature. (You don't want to fry ice-cold chicken, because it won't cook all the way through, and it will chill the frying oil.) Meanwhile, make the batter: In a large bowl, add the cornstarch, flour, and salt. Slowly pour in the cold water, whisking continuously, until the mixture is smooth and the consistency of thin pancake batter. Add more water as needed to thin the batter.
• Heat oil: Clip a candy or deep fry thermometer onto a large, heavy pot. Add enough canola oil to fully submerge the chicken pieces-about halfway up the side of the pot. (Oil expands as it heats, so don't overfill the pot.) Heat the oil over low heat until it reaches 300 F. (It's fine if the oil temperature goes up to 350 degrees F, because it will drop once the chicken goes in.) Coat chicken: When the oil is hot, add all the chicken into the batter and fully coat each piece.
• First fry: Starting with the dark meat, use tongs to pick up each piece and allow the excess batter to drip off. Gently swirl the tip of the chicken in the oil to set the crust; this will prevent the chicken from sticking to the bottom of the pot. Then ease the rest of the piece into the oil. Repeat with all the chicken pieces. Use a slotted spoon or spider strainer to make sure the chicken pieces don't stick together or to the bottom of the pot. If they do stick, gently separate them with the spoon; try not to tear the delicate crust! Use the slotted spoon to remove any stray bits of batter.
• After 10 minutes total, use the slotted spoon to transfer the chicken pieces to drain on a wire rack or paper towels on a baking sheet. The chicken will not be fully cooked-there's a second fry. Let the chicken rest, 15-20 minutes. Meanwhile, reheat the oil to 350 degrees F. (Note: The chicken can be made to this point up to 1 day ahead and refrigerated; bring it back to room temperature before the second fry.) Second fry: When the oil is hot, fry the chicken pieces again, this time for 4 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.Use the slotted spoon to transfer the chicken pieces to drain on a clean wire rack set over a paper towel-lined baking sheet.
• Glaze chicken: Brush glaze onto warm chicken, then flip to brush other side. (It's fine to brush the glaze all over the chicken several times!) Serve immediately. (Note: Frying oil can be reused several times for frying chicken. Cool the oil completely, then pour through a fine-mesh strainer into a clean jar. Cover and store in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.)

CHICKEN SOY, GINGER AND GARLIC

Steps:

• Tenderise the chicken strips using a meat mallet or the blunt edge of a cleaver. Rub with the sesame oil and set aside for 15 minutes.
• Heat the sunflower oil in a wok, add the ginger and garlic and cook until light brown. Add the chicken, stir-fry for 2 minutes, then add the soy sauce and black pepper. Stir-fry for 1 minute so the chicken absorbs the seasonings thoroughly, then add the water, stir well and cook for 2 minutes.
• Heap into warm bowls and serve with freshly cooked boiled rice or noodles

HONEY & SOY CHICKEN WITH SESAME BROCCOLI

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Mix the soy, honey, 1 tbsp of the oil and ½ tbsp garlic & ginger paste in a bowl. Pour over the chicken thighs and leave to marinate if you have time, but don't worry if not - they will be delicious either way. Tip the chicken with all the marinade into a roasting tin, skin-side up. Cook for 45 mins until sticky and the skin is crispy.
• When the chicken has 15 mins left, start cooking the rice following pack instructions, if using, and heat the remaining oil in a frying pan. Add the remaining garlic & ginger paste, sizzle for 1 min, then tip in the broccoli along with a splash of water. Cover and cook for 10 mins until tender, then take the lid off, tip the sesame seeds into the pan and give everything a good toss around. Season. Serve with the chicken, and all the caramelised bits from the bottom of the tin.

SOY-GARLIC CHICKEN

Steps:

• With a sharp knife, cut leg quarters at the joints if desired. Place in a 4-qt. slow cooker. In a small bowl, combine the tomato sauce, soy sauce, brown sugar and garlic; pour over chicken., Cover and cook on low for 4-5 hours or until chicken is tender. Freeze option: Cool chicken in sauce. Freeze in freezer containers. To use, partially thaw in refrigerator overnight. Heat through slowly in a covered skillet until a thermometer inserted in chicken reads 165°, stirring occasionally and adding a little broth or water if necessary.

GARLIC AND SOY SAUCE CHICKEN THIGHS OR WINGS.

Steps:

• Trim the excess skin and fat from chicken thigh or wing. Place the thighs or wings in a baking dish just big enough to accomodate the chicken. If you have too much space between the pieces the sugars in the sauce will burn and your evening's entertainment will consist of dish scrubbing.
• Whisk together the soy sauce, brown sugar, onion and garlic, Pour the sauce over the chicken. Turn each piece so it is well coated and then leave it skin side up.
• Bake at 350°F for 30 - 40 minutes.

SOY AND GARLIC MARINATED CHICKEN

Steps:

• In a large, nonporous bowl, combine the garlic and the soy sauce. Add the chicken and turn to coat well. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least an hour.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium high heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Grill chicken over medium high heat for 10 to 15 minutes per side, or until internal temperature reaches 180 degrees F (80 degrees C). Discard any remaining marinade.
