Drunken Chicken with Shaoxing Wine
- 1 fillet Young chicken, thigh
- 1 dash Japanese leeks (leftover scraps are fine)
- 1 dash Ginger (skin scraps are fine)
- 100 ml Shaoxing wine (or baiju)
- 2 Star anise
- 2 tsp Cinnamon powder
- 1 tbsp Ginger (grated)
- 2 tbsp Salt
- 2 tsp Soy sauce
- 2 tsp Black vinegar
- 1 tsp Doubanjiang
- 1 tsp Garlic (grated)
- 1 tsp Ginger (grated)
- Cut the sinews of the chicken.
- In a pot with plenty of water, add the leeks and ginger, bring to a boil, then add the chicken from Step 1.
- Boil for 15 minutes with the skin side up.
- After 15 minutes, remove the chicken from the pot, rinse underwater, then soak the chicken in a bowl of ice water.
- This will seal in the flavors.
- Once it completely cools to the touch, return it to the pot, then stew with the skin side down on high heat for 10 minutes.
- After 10 minutes, repeat Step 4 by chilling the chicken in ice water to seal in the flavors.
- Slice the chicken into pieces appropriately sized for picking up with chopsticks, transfer them to a bowl, then chill in the refrigerator.
- Fill a separate sauce pan with 500 ml water, bring to a boil, add the ingredients, boil over high heat for 3 minutes, then turn off the heat.
- Adjust the amount of salt to taste.
- When the contents of the saucepan from Step 8 cool, pour into the bowl from Step 7.
- Wrap the bowl in plastic wrap, then let it chill in the refrigerator for over 8 hours, then it's ready to serve.
- I recommend letting it sit for 24 hours.
- Remove the drunken chicken from the refrigerator, garnish with scallions, then drizzle on a sauce made from combining the ingredients.
