Hainanese chicken with sweet and sour sauce


Category:   Meat & Seafood
Style:   Chinese
Servings:   12


Description:
My own version of the famous white chicken, recipe was from Kylie Kwong and ms. Connie Veneracion.

Ingredients:
For the white chicken:
1 whole chicken
1 whole garlic crushed
1 whole onion halved
1 thumb sized ginger sliced
1 cup of cooking rice wine
1 liter of water

For the sweet&sour sauce:
follow this link as I've already post a similar recipe with the sauce; http://tinyurl.com/ybv2o56

Directions:
1. In a casserole, boil 1 litter of water and add the spices and rice wine one-by-one.
2. When the water is in rolling boil, lower the heat and carefully place the chicken inside.
3. Let it simmer for 40 minutes or until the chicken is tender
4. Following the link I gave, make the sweet&sour sauce and set aside
5. Once the chicken is tender, remove it from the heat and let it cool for at least 30 minutes.
6. Cut the chicken in serving sizes (you can use a heavy cleaver but in my my case, the chicken is so tender that I only use a kitchen shears to cut it.)
7. Serve with the sweet&sour sauce.
