Here’s how you can effectively use dark soy sauce with chicken:

Marination

Marinating Chicken: Dark soy sauce can be used as part of a marinade to add color and a deeper flavor profile to the chicken before cooking. Mix it with other ingredients such as ginger, garlic, Shaoxing wine, or any spices of your choice to create a flavorful base. This step not only pre-seasons the meat but also gives it an appetizing hue.

During Cooking

Red-Cooked or Braised Dishes: Dark soy sauce is ideal for red-cooked (hong shao) or braised chicken dishes where the goal is to achieve a rich, deep color and complex flavors. Adding dark soy sauce during the cooking process allows the chicken to absorb these flavors while developing a beautiful reddish-brown color.
Control the Amount: Because of its intense color, be mindful of the quantity used to avoid overly darkening the dish. Start with a small amount and adjust according to the desired color and flavor intensity.

Final Seasoning

Seasoning Before Serving: To maintain the vibrant colors and balanced flavors, consider adding a touch more dark soy sauce towards the end of cooking if needed. This helps in achieving the right balance without overcooking the sauce, which could affect the overall taste.
