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
  1. Soak goji berry in water to soften
  2. Cut up a large sheet of aluminum foil
  3. Place chicken skin side down on the sheet
  4. Rub fish sauce on both side of the chicken
  5. 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.
  6. Boil a pot of water and put some sliced ginger and green onion to bring out flavor of the chicken
  7. Turn the heat down to a low simmer and insert the foil wrapped chicken roll ensuring the entire roll is covered by water
  8. Simmer for about 20-30 minutes and immediately insert the wrapped rolls into an ice bath to stop the cooking process
  9. While the chicken is bathing, time to make the marinade
  10. Take 2 cups of chicken stock, add the remaining fish sauce and shaoxing wine and mix well
  11. Drain the goji berry and add to the marinade
  12. Once chicken is cool to touch, remove chicken from foil and put into ziplock bag
  13. Pour the marinade into the bag and make sure it’s enough to cover the chicken
  14. Refrigerate for at least 12 hours before serving
  15. Remove chicken from marinade, and cut into ½” slices, pour some of the marinade with goji berry on top and serve chilled
