Don’t underestimate the wonders of a poached chicken. Hainanese chicken, for example, relies on a clever dunking technique to achieve soft and tender flesh. White-cut chicken and bang bang chicken also sees the chook simmering in a gentle bath of Shaoxing wine and ginger; while our salads call for simply cooked meat to bulk out fresh and vibrant chicken salads.
