| Drunken Chicken ~ This is not the drunken chicken where it is deep fried in a large pot. This is more of a Chinese hors d'oevre. The "soaking time" is quite long, so you will have to prepare this dish far in advance of your party. 1 three-pound chicken, cleaned. 6-7 cups of water Group 1 2 tbsp salt 2 medium-sized onions 6 slices fresh ginger Group 2 2½ + cups rice wine 1. In a large pot, bring the water to a boil, then add Group 1. Allow to boil for 5 minutes. 2. Add the chicken and continue to boil for an additional 15 minutes. 3. Remove from heat and allow to sit for 3 hours, then drain and discard the water and Group 1. 4. Place chicken in a large bowl, add Group 2. Insure the chicken is covered turning several times for the next 24 hours. Allow to soak at least 36 hours. 5. Cut the chicken into double mah-jong size pieces. 6. Arrange on a serving platter. To serve: Serve cold, allow your guests to use toothpicks, or serve in small serving dishes. Mah-jong is bite sized, double mah-jong is about 1-inch by 2-inch pieces. |
