Chinese Poached Chicken
CDKitchen https://www.cdkitchen.com
Serves/Makes: 4    |   Ready In: 1-2 hrs

Ingredients:
9 quarts water
3 pounds whole chicken

Directions:
Fill a 12 quart kettle or Dutch oven 3/4ths full with water and bring it to a boil over high heat.

Place the chicken in the boiling water. When the water stops boiling, carefully remove the chicken using wooden spoons (so as not to tear the skin) and set aside.

Cover the pot and let the water come back to a boil. Return the chicken to the pot. Turn off the heat but leave the pot on the burner. Cover the pot and let the chicken sit in the hot water for 1 hour.

Remove the chicken from the pot. When cool enough to handle, debone the chicken. Use the chicken meat in any recipe calling for cooked chicken.

The cooking water can be reduced and strained and used as a cooking liquid (such as for rice).
