Tips
The chicken gets an exfoliating treatment by rubbing it with salt to make sure the skin is super soft.
Separate the chicken off the bone so that the broth can continue cooking after the chicken is done.
Rinse your chicken under cold water to stop the cooking.
Add the blanched gailan to an ice bath so it stays crispy.
