How to Make Boiled Chicken Chinese Style
- Fill a large kettle (at least 6-quart) with 8 cups of water and bring to a rolling boil.
- Carefully place a whole (approximately 3-4 lb) cleaned chicken into the boiling water.
- Once the water returns to a boil, immediately remove the chicken from the pot.
- Cover the pot and allow the water to return to a boil.
- Once boiling again, carefully return the chicken to the pot.
- Immediately cover the pot, turn off the heat, and leave the chicken undisturbed on the burner.
- Let the chicken sit undisturbed for 60-70 minutes. The longer it sits, the more tender it becomes.
- Remove the chicken from the pot and let it cool completely before handling.
- Once cool, debone the chicken. This is surprisingly easy after this cooking method.
- For a low-sodium/low-fat diet, remove the skin before serving or using.
- Reserve the flavorful pan juices; they contain natural gelatin that helps keep the chicken moist when storing.
- Serve immediately or store the deboned chicken (covered with reserved juices) in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
