Soy sauce chicken is a yummy dish from China, especially popular in a region called Guangdong. It's made by cooking chicken in a special sauce that tastes like soy sauce. In Hong Kong, people often call it a siu mei dish, which means it's a type of roasted or barbecued meat.

What is Soy Sauce Chicken?

This delicious dish is a big part of Cantonese cuisine, which is a style of cooking from the Guangdong province in southern China. The chicken is cooked until it's super tender and soaks up all the amazing flavors from the soy sauce mixture.

How is it Different from Other Chicken Dishes?

There's another chicken dish from the same area called white cut chicken. It's different because it focuses on the natural taste of the chicken itself. White cut chicken is often served with a yummy ginger and onion sauce, and people really enjoy the fresh taste of the chicken meat. Soy sauce chicken, on the other hand, is all about the rich, savory flavor that the soy sauce gives to the chicken.

It was once known as the cheapest restaurant in the world to earn a special 'Michelin star' award! A Michelin star means the food is really great.
