Microwave Pulled Chicken 微波炉盐焗鸡

By aohmc

No need to bake over hours to make this Chinese style pulled chicken. The Baked-salt seasoning may be purchased at any Chinese grocery stores and it will give your chicken a special flavor. If you can't find them, you may try to use salt, ground pepper and ground rosemary instead.

Ingredients

• 2 Chicken thighs (or breasts for lean cooking)
• Cooking wine
• Salt and ground pepper
• Green onion, diced
• Ginger, diced
• Garlic, diced
• Cilantro, diced
• Baked-salt seasoning
• cooking oil
• sesame oil
• Optional: carrot, shredded

Preparation

Step 1

Marinate chicken pieces with salt, ground pepper and cooking wine for at least one hour in a microwaveable bowl.
Add some water just over the chicken. Microwave on high 5 minutes at a time, turn and cook another 5 minutes. Repeat until chicken is fully cooked.
Place ice cubes and water in another bowl. Place cooked chicken into the ice cold water to cool the chicken immediately. After chicken is cooled completely, pull chicken apart by hands into shredded pieces. Shred chicken skin with a knife.
Spoon the proper amount of Baked-salt dressing over the shredded chicken and mix with a fork or spoon. Ready to eat. Serve warm or cold.

Baked-Salt dressing:
Place diced green onions, ginger, garlic, cilantro and some baked-salt seasoning in a heat-resistant bowl (such as ramekin). Heat the cooking oil on the stove until hot, spoon into the bowl just over other seasonings. Stir and mix, drizzle some sesame oil.
