ChickenWash chicken inside out and drain well. Using 2 tsp of salt as scrub, rub the salt all over the chicken for smooth looking skin and to get rid or dirt. Rinse and pat dry. Stuff ginger and scallion into the chicken’s cavity. In a not too large stockpot which fits the chicken perfectly, boil 10 cups of water (enough to cover the whole chicken) together with pandan leaves, and salt. Submerge the whole chicken, breast side down in the boiling water. Let water come to a boil again then lower the heat to gentle simmer immediately. Chicken should cook over the fire for 20 minutes depending on the size of the chicken. When chicken is cooked, transfer the chicken into prepared ice cold water at once. Put aside for 20 minutes. Keep the hot chicken broth** for later use. After 20 minutes, drain the chicken. Discard ginger and scallion from the cavity and set it aside to chop before serving. |
