Ingredients

  • Whole chicken 1.5kg (about 3 lbs)
  • Fresh ginger 30g, sliced
  • Scallions 5 stalks
  • Cooking wine 2 tbsp
  • Salt 1 tsp
  • Ice water for cooling
  • For dipping sauce: ginger 20g (minced), scallion 2 stalks (minced), oil 3 tbsp, salt 1/2 tsp

Steps

  1. Clean the chicken thoroughly and pat dry with paper towels
  2. Bring a large pot of water to boil, add ginger slices, scallions, cooking wine and salt
  3. Hold the chicken by the neck and dip into boiling water for 5 seconds, remove and repeat 3 times
  4. Submerge the chicken completely in the water, immediately turn off the heat
  5. Cover the pot tightly and let the chicken poach in residual heat for 30 minutes
  6. Remove the chicken and plunge into ice water for 5 minutes to tighten the skin
  7. Drain well and brush the surface lightly with sesame oil for shine
  8. Cut into serving pieces and serve with ginger-scallion dipping sauce

Tips

The secret to perfect White Cut Chicken is using residual heat to gently cook the meat. This technique ensures the chicken remains incredibly tender and juicy. The ice bath step is crucial for achieving that signature smooth, firm skin.
