    I am so excited!! I have looked for a recipe for Shoyu Chicken for years and no, it is not teriyaki. I lived in Hawaii in 1977 and worked at the Woolworth's snack bar on Waikiki. The Japanese women there made the most awesome Shoyu chicken. Made with King Shoyu brand soy sauce, hence the name. Not a basted but more of a chicken cooked in soy sauce. I am anxious to try it and report back. Thank you Sue.

    The flavors were nice, although a little strong. Could be because I used Aloha Shoyu for the soy sauce? Chicken was fork tender and full of flavor. I substituted corn starch for the flour, got pretty thick... kinda gloopy. My fault for not following the recipe exactly possibly. Whenever I try a new recipe I usually follow the recipe exactly so I can rate it properly. I'm giving this one the benefit of the doubt and scoring it 5 stars when, as I made it, it was only 4-4.5 stars :

    I cooked this recipe for my aunt and roommate tonight, it was a huge hit! My work used to get this for lunch from a Hawaiian BBQ place in Sacramento, but I never knew what it was called. I ran across it here and just HAD to try it. It turned out absolutely delicious. the sauce was Thick and shiny and full of robust flavors, sweet and savory. Thanks so much for sharing sue, my taste buds and I wanted to thank you :0

    Rainbow's Drive-In has always been classic. The recipe is a local favorite. The worcestershire sauce & apple cider vinegar is a good & interesting twist. The only thing I would do differently is add 1/3 cup Mirin (It's a japanese sweet cooking wine that u can find @ any asian market. Trust me, Mirin is needed 2 make any TRUE teriyaki sauce! Cornstarch can be added instead of flour to give it a shiny consistency. Use "Kikkoman" brand shoyu, there is no subsitute! Yummo!
