soy sauce

🥗Healthier: low-sodium soy sauce

💰Cheaper: tamari

Low-sodium soy sauce reduces salt intake while tamari offers a gluten-free option.

whole chicken

🥗Healthier: chicken thighs

💰Cheaper: chicken drumsticks

Thighs are juicier and drumsticks are often more affordable.

rice wine

🥗Healthier: dry sherry

💰Cheaper: white wine

Dry sherry provides a similar flavor profile at a lower cost.

star anise

🥗Healthier: five spice powder

💰Cheaper: cinnamon stick

Five spice powder captures the essence of star anise while cinnamon is more accessible.

Pan fry the chicken thighs until browned.

Prepare the seasoning sauce by mixing dark soya sauce, light soya sauce, Shaoxing wine, water, ginger, garlic, star anise, bay leaves, and sugar in a bowl.

Add the chicken to the seasoning sauce and stir to coat.

Simmer the chicken in the sauce until cooked through, about 20-30 minutes.
