Rice Cooker Soy Sauce Chicken Leg 电饭锅酱油鸡腿

Soy Sauce Chicken is a Cantonese favourite cuisine. Most people cook this dish using whole chicken, braise in a pot of soy sauce flavoured watery gravy. It is quite tedious to braise a whole chicken as you need to stand by the stove, rotate the chicken to get an even colour and flavour. Fred not! The recipe that I am sharing here is my simplified method. Use chicken leg, cook in a rice cooker, the simplest method.

The reason why I cooked soy sauce chicken leg instead of whole chicken is simple 'because I do not like to eat chicken breast meat.'

The rice cooker method is rather simple and straight forward. Just 2 steps:

1. Get the ingredients ready and put in a rice cooker.

2. Close the lid, set to cook.

Of course, you can do as I did, flip the chicken at the end of the cooking to get a nicer colour and flavour. The last step is optional, do it if you want your dish to look gorgeous! ;)

酱油鸡也称为豉油鸡，是一道广东菜。一般的做法是把整只鸡浸熟，就是用一锅以酱油为主，再加一些姜，葱，八角，酒，冰糖之类的材料调配而成的。我讲的 ‘一般做法’，不是我的做法，因为太麻烦啦！家里有电饭锅，就好好把它利用。用电饭锅来煮这道菜，就是把所有材料放进电饭锅里，按键 ‘煮’。实在容易，成品也是色香味俱全。

Ingredients: Yield 2-3 servings
材料：2-3人份

3 Chicken Legs 全鸡腿 3只／ 2只鸡腿＋ 2只鸡翅膀，大约500克

6 cloves of Garlic (pounded) 蒜头 6棵，拍烂

Method: 步骤

1. Put all ingredients in the inner pot of the rice cooker. Close the lid, turn on DIY mode, set 45 minutes cooking time and press start. If you are using a regular rice cooker without DIY setting, just press start to cook, check the progress in the middle of cooking and adjust the time and water accordingly.
把所有材料放进电饭锅。

2. When the cooking is done, open the lid, flip the chicken and eggs. Close the lid, set the time to 10 minutes (DIY mode), press start and let it cook. When it's ready, serve warm with rice, noodles or porridge.
按DIY键煮45分钟，翻面，继续煮10分钟即可。如果你的电饭锅没有DIY键，就按开始键，自己拿捏时间和水份。不用电饭锅的话，可以用普通煤气炉。煮法：把所有调味料放进锅里煮滚，加入鸡腿，盖上。小火煮40分钟左右，熄火，焖10分钟即可。若喜欢我的食谱，可以LIKE和追随我的面书专页，不要错过最新食谱发布。
