Tips

  • If you want this dish to be healthier, you can remove the chicken skin.
  • If you are using a whole chicken with bones, you might have to cook this slightly longer.
  • Use low sodium soy sauce and if possible, look for non-sodium Shaoxing Huatiao wine.
  • If you eat this, do not drive because of the wine.
