Chef's Notes
Pay close attention to the balance of honey, brown sugar, and soy sauce. Hawaii-style shoyu chicken lives on the edge of sweet and savory harmony. Do not rush the natural pressure release, or your chicken will seize up and lose its tenderness.
Pro Tip
Always mix your potato starch with cold water. Hot water will instantly cook the starch into weird, gelatinous lumps, and nobody wants lumpy sauce at a royal banquet.
Kitchen Catastrophe Warning
Failing to whisk your potato starch slurry completely before dumping it into the boiling pot, resulting in a disastrous sauce peppered with gelatinous alien-like lumps that will make your guests weep.

Royal Court Comedy
Why did the chicken cross the Pacific? To get completely drenched in a sugary soy bath and become a local legend!
The Culinary Science
Cooking meat under pressure forces moisture and deep umami flavors into the collagen fibers of the drumstick much faster than traditional boiling, breaking down tough connective tissue into silky gelatin.
