Broke da mouth Shoyu Chicken

Last Sunday I did the cooking. For you who miss "plate lunch" from Hawaii, here's a nice easy recipe to make in the crock pot. I cooked it on low heat for about 4 hours and the chicken was "fall off da bone" ono! (Ono = "good" in Hawaiian). If you can find Huli-Huli sauce, it is all you need (maybe add a bit of brown sugar and garlic if you want it). If you use Shoyu (Shoyu = Soy Sauce), the recipe is below.

Ingredients:

2 lbs. chicken thighs
1 cup Shoyu (Soy Sauce)
1 garlic clove, or 1/2 tsp. minced garlic
1 tsp ginger
1/4 cup brown sugar
Increase the above ingredients proportionally if more chicken is used.

Brown the chicken lightly, skin side down, in a lightly oiled (or spray oiled) fryer.

Add garlic and ginger as the chicken browns.

Pour the chicken and pan contents into the crock-pot.
Add the Shoyu
Add brown sugar, if desired.

I cooked mine for 4 hours at low setting on crock pot, and it was "fall off the bone" tender like I like it.
You can cook from between 1 to 2 hours at a higher setting. You can also cook this on the stove top in a pot, or bake it in the oven, if preferred. Serve on rice, with the juices.

It's broke da mouth ono!
