Ingredients: chicken, neutral oil, green onions, garlic cloves, ginger · 120 min cook time · 700kcal · ~₩26,900
Ingredients
3lb chicken, 0.25cup neutral oil, 3stalks green onions, 0.25cup garlic cloves, 0.25cup ginger, 2개 shallots, 1개 bay leaf, 2개 orange peels, 2개 star anise, 1개 cinnamon stick, 0.75cup Shaohsing wine, 1cup light soy sauce, 0.75cup dark soy sauce, 0.5tbs chicken powder, 0.5cup brown sugar, 3cup water, 4tbs cornstarch, 4tbs water (for slurry), 0적당량 red food coloring
Instructions
1. In a tall, but not too wide pot, saute 1/4 cup garlic cloves, 1/4 cup sliced ginger, and 2 sliced shallots over medium heat until caramelized, about 3 minutes.
2. Add 3/4 cups dark soy sauce, 1 cup light soy sauce, 3/4 cups Shaohsing wine, 3 cups of water, 1/2 cup of dark brown sugar, 2 orange peels, all the green onions, and all your spices (bay leaf, star anise, cinnamon stick).
3. Red food coloring is optional, but visually, it does make the chicken look super dope.
4. Tuck in your chicken and then top off with water if you need to ensure it's submerged.
5. Place a lid on the pot and cook it at 170 degrees Fahrenheit for about 50 minutes. You want the temperature to be around 170 to ensure juicy meat.
6. After cooking, remove the chicken from the braising liquid. Strain 4 cups of the braising liquid into a pot.
7. Set the pot with the braising liquid to the highest heat and bring it to a boil. You want about 1/2 cup of it to boil over to reduce the sauce.
8. Mix 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 1 tablespoon of water to create a slurry. Add the cornstarch slurry, 1 tablespoon at a time, to the boiling liquid until the sauce is thicker, but not a gravy. Set aside.
9. Separate the legs, thighs, and wings from the chicken, and cut the breast in half. You can cleaver right through the bones, but removing the chest plate will make it much easier to eat.
10. To plate up, line a plate with plenty of white rice. Layer the chicken on top, followed by the bok choy (if making the side dish) along the side. Lay on that magic sauce generously.
