White Cut Chicken with Ginger Scallion Sauce (白切鸡姜葱酱)

Step 1

Set the stove to high heat and start boiling a generous amount of water in the pot you'll be using.

Step 2

Wait for the water to come to a boil.

Step 3

While we wait for the chicken to cook, we'll start on our sauce by mincing our green onions and ginger​.

Step 4

We'll heat up our wok on high heat and add corn oil.

Step 5

We'll add salt and sesame oil to the bowl, and mix for 30-60 seconds.

Step 6

Grab a big bowl and dump a few handfuls of ice into it. Fill it roughly halfway with cold water.

Step 7

Once the time draws near, we can uncover the pot. Poke the thickest part of the chicken (around the thigh) deeply with a chopstick.

Step 8

Carefully take two chopsticks under the chicken wings, and lift it over the pot.

Step 9

This could honestly be its own blog post, but for now it will live in a very detailed step in this recipe.
