Blanched Chicken
Overview
In order to welcome my daughter, I practice cooking skills at home and add some new dishes to the family table. Take a piece of tender and fluffy chicken, dip it in the toppings, and it will instantly drive away half of the heat. When making plain-cut chicken, choose chickens that are not too big in size and are easy to cook and have tender meat. Special thanks to the big stir-fry spoon, this boiled chicken learned his method.

Ingredients
Steps
-
Prepare a pot of ice water, I used drinkable filtered water. Refrigerate for about 2 hours,
-
Prepare the seasoning for the fried chicken.
-
When I bought the chicken back, it had already shed its feathers and its internal organs. My husband quickly removed the butt and feet from the chicken. Just clean it.
-
Add the scallions, ginger slices, cinnamon bark, star anise, peppercorns, and angelica angelica from the seasoning into the pot, and add a tablespoon of salt.
-
Add a little rice wine.
-
Tie a string on the chicken legs in advance. After the water in the pot boils, immerse the chicken in the water for 5 seconds and then lift it up.
-
Scoop up a spoonful of hot water and pour it into the chicken. In fact, this is a bit redundant for me, because after the chicken butt is cut off, the hot water can go directly into the chicken sugar.
-
Then dip the chicken into the pan for another 5 seconds. Lift it up again and fill it with hot water, a total of 7 times. Later I discovered that my recipe was purely mechanical. It was redundant and had been blanched. After cutting the chicken, it was fully cooked and there was no tender red juice left.
-
Cover the pot, turn off the heat and simmer for 15 minutes. Check if the chicken is done by piercing it with chopsticks.
-
Transfer the stuffed chicken to ice water, soak for 15 minutes, take out and cut into pieces. The way I cut it was so ugly, the chicken was only visible on the plate.
