Recipe: White Chicken
INGREDIENTS:
1/2 chicken, 4-5 pounds
2 big chunks of ginger (1-inch thick), peeled and smashed
3 cloves garlic, peeled and smashed
1 tbsp salt, plus more to season the chicken
1 tbsp sesame oil
PROCEDURE:
Fill a large pot with water full enough to cover at least ¾ of the chicken.
Bring the water to a boil with the smashed ginger, garlic, and 2 tablespoons of salt.
Place the chicken in breast side up, cover, and bring to a boil.
Switch to low heat and let cook for 45 minutes.
Flip the chicken, cover it and cook on low heat for another 45 minutes.
To test if the chicken is done, insert a chopstick near the thigh.
If it goes in and there is no pinkness, it’s done.
