Soy Sauce Chicken

Hi Folks, are you sick of eating Hainanese chicken rice? Why not cook the whole chicken in soy sauce. It became one of my family’s favorite dish on table now. It’s easy to whip out this dish even after a tiring day from work. The remaining sauce can be used as gravy for rice, noodles and even stew eggs.
