Instructions
- Boil the Chicken: Boil a large pot of water. Submerge the entire chicken and let it cook on the lowest heat for about 35 minutes.
- Check Doneness: Poke a small hole in the thigh to check if it's done. If the juice runs clear, it's ready.
- Ice Bath: Transfer the chicken to an ice bath for five minutes to seal in the juices.
- Prepare the Sauce: Stir fry some salt in a wok for about a minute and combine with sand ginger powder, sesame oil, and lard in a bowl.
- Shred and Serve: Remove the chicken from the ice bath and start shredding the meat. Plate the dish and drizzle with the prepared sauce before enjoying.
