Cooking Tips

• For extra flavor, you can add a splash of mirin or rice vinegar to the marinade.
• If you prefer a spicier kick, you can add some chili flakes or sriracha sauce to the marinade.
• Make sure to let the chicken marinate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to penetrate the meat.
• You can also grill the chicken thighs instead of cooking them in a skillet for a smoky flavor.

Storage and Serving

• Leftover shoyu chicken can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• To reheat, place the chicken in a microwave-safe dish and heat it in the microwave until warmed through.
• Shoyu chicken is delicious on its own or served with a side of steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
