Char siu can be prepared with chicken, not just pork alone. Here is the recipe for char siu chicken.
Cha siu chicken is an improvisation from the traditional cha siu prepared with pork belly and shoulder loin. The flavor of char siu chicken is as good as pork when it is made with skin-on deboned chicken thigh.
This recipe includes around ten ingredients to constitute the sauce. The aim is to create a taste close to the Cantonese-style char siu sold in the restaurant. Although it looks complicated, it involves only a few simple steps. All you need is to combine the ingredients and marinate the chicken overnight. There is no skill required, as success mainly lies in the composition of the marinade.
