Author: Mike Hsu
Recipe type: Appetizer
Cuisine: Chinese
Serves: 4-8 servings
Ingredients
2 boneless chicken leg quarter with skin (about 2 lbs)
¼ cup dried goji berries
¼ cup fish sauce
1 cup shaoxing wine
2 cups chicken stock
Chinese herbs (optional)
Instructions
Soak goji berry in water to soften
Cut up a large sheet of aluminum foil
Place chicken skin side down on the sheet
Rub fish sauce on both side of the chicken
Roll up the chicken tightly with skin on the outside using the foil (like wrapping candy) - this will help the chicken roll hold its shape as well as the moisture since it's wrapped.
Boil a pot of water and put some sliced ginger and green onion to bring out flavor of the chicken
Turn the heat down to a low simmer and insert the foil wrapped chicken roll ensuring the entire roll is covered by water
Simmer for about 20-30 minutes and immediately insert the wrapped rolls into an ice bath to stop the cooking process
While the chicken is bathing, time to make the marinade
Take 2 cups of chicken stock, add the remaining fish sauce and shaoxing wine and mix well
Drain the goji berry and add to the marinade
Once chicken is cool to touch, remove chicken from foil and put into ziplock bag
Pour the marinade into the bag and make sure it’s enough to cover the chicken
Refrigerate for at least 12 hours before serving
Remove chicken from marinade, and cut into ½” slices, pour some of the marinade with goji berry on top and serve chilled
