Mouthwatering chicken

Method

1. 1 Boil the chicken over low heat for 30 minutes, then soak it in ice water for 10 minutes and chop it into pieces, leaving the bone in.
2. 2 Cutting the chicken into pieces with the bones still on, rather than shredding it, is the way to prepare a steamed chicken dish in Chengdu.
3. 3 Pour 190-degree oil over crushed dried chilies and Sichuan peppercorns to make chili oil.
4. 4 Simmer soy sauce with palm sugar for 5 minutes to make a sweet soy sauce.
5. 5 Mix chili oil with sweet soy sauce, black vinegar, sesame sauce, and a ladle of chicken broth.
6. 6 Arrange the chicken pieces in a deep dish, pour the sauce over them until they are half covered, and sprinkle with crushed roasted peanuts and chopped green onions.
