White Cut Chicken with Ginger Scallion Sauce

Ingredients

• 4 lb whole chicken
• 2 oz green onion
• 1.5 oz ginger
• 5 tbsp corn oil
• 1 tsp salt
• 2 tsp salt
• 1 tbsp sesame oil

Steps

1. 1

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

2. 2

   Wait for the water to come to a boil.

3. 3

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

4. 4

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

5. 5

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

6. 6

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

7. 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.

8. 8

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