Garlic Chicken Recipe

Garlic Chicken Recipe

Ingredients: 

2 half free ranch chicken thighs

20 cloves garlic, peeled

2 ginger slices

 

Seasonings:

1 tablespoon Chinese cooking wine

1 teaspoon salt

 

Method:

Rinse chicken well, cut each thighs into 4 equal big pieces, blanch to remove blood and scum and rinse well.  Deep-fry garlic with half bowl of oil until slightly brown, then remove.  Bring 5 cups of water to boil, add chicken pieces, ginger slices and garlic, drizzle 1 tablespoon of wine, simmer over low heat for 25-30 minutes then season with salt and continue to cook for 5 more minutes.  Remove from heat and discard ginger slices.  Serve.

 

Note:  Whole chicken can be used in this recipe, deep-fry garlic first, then stuff chicken with garlic or even Chinese medicinal herbs and steam until done.  This recipe is simple and easy to cook, with a light cooking style that is suitable for people nowadays or small families.  Deep-fried garlic is better, but do not over fry.  More garlic can be added if desired.
