Soy Sauce Chicken, Do Good Foods
Whole chicken dishes are some of the most satisfying to make, share, and enjoy as leftovers. As usual, we love marinating it ahead for great flavor and moisture in the final dish. In preparation for Lunar New Year, a whole chicken is considered to bring luck and “wholeness” for the coming year. Chicken is a homophone for ji (吉, meaning 'good luck' and 'prosperity'). Typically, the braised chicken is seasoned with soy sauce, wine, and ginger with spices so we use Sri Lanka and Smoked Cinnamon for our version with caramelized, roasty skin. Happy New Year!
