Soy-glazed chicken is a savory and flavorful dish where chicken pieces are coated in a rich, glossy glaze made from soy sauce, honey or maple syrup, and a blend of aromatic ingredients like garlic and ginger. The glaze, which is slightly sweet and umami-rich, caramelizes as the chicken cooks, creating a tantalizing, sticky coating that enhances the chicken's natural flavors. Often garnished with sesame seeds and green onions, this dish is typically served over rice or noodles, making it a satisfying and well-rounded meal. The combination of sweet, salty, and umami flavors, along with the caramelized finish, makes soy-glazed chicken a favorite for both casual dinners and special occasions.
