Shaoxing Drunken Chicken

Ingredients:

3 chicken thighs (deboned, skin-on) - trim off fat

1/4 tsp. salt (for each thigh)

1 tsp. Shaoxing wine (for each thigh)

Sauce:

2 cups chicken stock (from step.2)

1/2 cup Shaoxing wine

2 tbsp. goji berries

1 tsp. salt

1/2 tsp. sugar

Methods:

1. To prepare the chicken; sprinkle with salt and lay it on a sheet of aluminium foil.  Add 1 teaspoon of wine and wrap the chicken into foil packets so that the juice from the chicken will remain inside after cooking.
2. In a pot, heat just enough water to cover the chicken rolls. Do not allow the water to boil rapidly.  Cook on low heat for about 20 minutes, then turn off the heat and let the meat sit in the chicken soup stock for about 5 minutes.  Remove them and submerge them in freezing water.  This allows the chicken rolls to cool down so that the water will not evaporate with the steam which will keep the meat tender and fresh.
3. To make the sauce, combine the wine with up to 2 cups of chicken soup stock from Step 2.  Add the goji berries, salt and sugar.  The soup should be brought to a boil.  Allow it to cool totally.
4. Get ready an airtight container, unwrap the chicken and put the cooled chicken inside, and add the cool sauce.  For the drunken chicken flavour to develop, cover with lid and keep in the fridge for one to two days.
5. To serve, remove the chicken from the container, slice and place it on a serving dish, drizzled with the sauce.
6. Enjoy!
