Title: White Cut Chicken (Young Bird) Categories: Poultry Yield: 4 Servings 8 -(up to) 10 c Water 3 sl Fresh ginger root 1 Or 2 Scallion stalks 1 Spring chicken 1 tb Sherry 1 ts Salt 1. Bring water to a boil in a heavy saucepan. Slice ginger root; cut scallion stalk in 1-inch sections, and add to pan. 2. Add chicken, sherry and salt. Cover pan and bring to a boil again over medium heat. 3. Turn off heat and let stand, covered, 1 hour. (Do not remove lid.) Drain, reserving liquid for stock. 4. Let chicken cool; then refrigerate to chill. Chop in 2-inch sections, or carve Western-style. Serve with dips for white cut chicken (see "... Dip for Chicken" recipes: "Soy-Oil", "Oil-Salt", "Chicken Fat-Soy", "Garlic-Soy", "Mustard-Soy" or "Hoisin"). NOTE: To test for doneness, pierce chicken leg with a fork at the end of step 3; if no blood is drawn, the bird is done. Otherwise, bring liquid to a boil again. Turn off heat and let stand, covered, 30 minutes more. From from Glen's MM Recipe Archive, http://www.erols.com/hosey. |
