This popular Chinese dish is quite easy to make. To add a bit of color, try garnishing the cut chicken with Green Onion Brushes before serving.

Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 5 hours
Total Time: 5 hours, 15 minutes
Ingredients:

1.6 kilogram, (3.5 lb) chicken
3 spring onions (green onions, scallions)
1 large ginger, sliced
3 garlic cloves
250 ml (1 cup) Shaoshing wine*
1 tablespoon sea salt

Preparation:
Rinse the chicken under cold running water and pat dry. Trim any extra fat.
In a large saucepan, add enough water to cover the chicken. Add the spring onions, ginger, garlic, Shaoshing wine, and sea salt. Bring to a boil.
Simmer for 20 minutes, then place the chicken in the stock. Bring back to a boil and simmer for another 15 minutes.
Turn the heat off, cover, and let the chicken sit in the stock for 4 - 5 hours. Serves 4.

Cut up the chicken. Serve with red vinegar, such as Pun Chun.
*Shaoshing wine is Chinese rice wine. If not available, pale dry sherry (not cooking sherry) can be substituted.
