Ingredients
- 6 c. Water
- 1 1/4 c. Soy sauce
- 1 1/4 c. Chinese rice wine or possibly dry sherry
- 1 c. Honey
- 2 tsp Salt
- 4 x Star anise
- 1 x Cinnamon stick
- 2 x Strips orange zest
- 1 x Chicken (3 1/2 to 4 lb) skinned and trussed if you like
- 5 x Scallions whites left whole greens finely minced for garnish
- 1/4 c. Minced cilantro for garnish
- 2 tsp Sesame oil (opt)
Directions
- Combine all the ingredients except the chicken, sesame oil, and garnishes in a deep pot just large sufficient to hold the chicken. Bring to a boil. Add in the chicken and simmer for 40-50 min, or possibly till cooked, turning the bird form time to time to make sure it poaches proportionately. Skim the mix often with a shallow ladle to remove any fat which rises to the surface. The chicken is done when the juices run clear when a skewer is inserted into the thick part of the thigh.
- Drain the chicken, reserve the broth. Remove the trussing string; carve the chicken and cut it into pcs. Sprinkle with scallion greens and cilantro.
- Serve warm, at room temperature, or possibly chilled.
- To serve, place chicken in shallow soup bowls with broth ladled over it.
- Sprinkle with minced scallions and cilantro. Or possibly brush the chicken pcs with sesame oil and brown them on the grill or possibly under the broiler, then sprinkle with minced scallions and cilantro.,
- Note: The broth can and should be reused. Strain it and let it cold to room temperature. Refrigerateovernight in the refrigerator and skim off any fat which collects on the surface. Freeze into you're ready to use it again. To reuse, bring the broth to a boil, adding seasoning and water as necessary.
- The flavor improves each time you use it.
