saliva chicken 口水鸡

i did a saliva chicken as part of the 12pax RI & OPS bro dinner on 25.10.2017. ^^

it was kind of hilarious, but i  totally forgotten to serve the 1/2 saliva chicken 口水鸡, which was chilled in the fridge. in the end, my RI bros CM & CL brought 1/2 portion each home. CL said he ate over 3 meals, together with vegetables. lol! ^^

i was doing another this time western dinner for 9pax RI friends on 2.11.2017, and using 1/2 chicken to make pan roasted chicken breast & thigh.

so i decided to use the remaining 1/2 chicken for saliva chicken 口水鸡.

recipe is simple same as for poached chicken (chicken rice chicken)-

  1. rub cleaned 1/2 chicken with salt & let marinate for few hours.
  2. boil water (or stock with chicken bones & carrots), add spring onions, shallots, garlic.
  3. boil 1/2 chicken completely immersed for 12mins in covered pot on low or medium low fire.
  4. off fire & poached for 22mins.
  5. placed in cold water & ice to stop cooking & produce taut, smooth skin. then put in fridge for 1hr to chill.
  6. debone chicken & placed in container.
  7. mix 2 tbsp mala chilli oil, 2tsp sugar,  1.5tbsp fish sauce, 1 tbsp sesame oil, 1tbsp olive oil & taste to liking, then add to the chicken.
