Chinese Boiled Chicken With Onions - Chow Yow Gai

1. 1

   Fill a large kettle with water and bring to a boil. (An 8-quart pot two-thirds filled with water works great for a 2 1/2 to 3-pound bird.)

2. 2

   When the water boils, place the whole cleaned chicken into it. When the water stops boiling, take the chicken out.

3. 3

   Cover the pot and when the water again boils, place the chicken back in the pot. Cover the pot and turn off the heat. Leave the chicken in the pot and the pot on the burner. After one hour, the chicken is done. Remove, and cool.

4. 4

   Debone the chicken and tear the meat into small strips.

5. 5
