Cooking Recipe Red Cooked Tangerine Chicken
Recipe Ingredients
SAUCE
Directions
Preparation: Rinse and soak dried peel in sherry for 1 hour. Remove
chicken neck, heart, gizzard and liver (use in stock pot). Wash
chicken and chop into large chunks. Mix sauce ingredients.
Browning: Add peanut oil to moderately hot wok. When oil is hot,
brown chicken pieces; remove pieces from oil with strainer and drain
over bowl.
Slow-cooking: Remove all oil from wok; heat to moderate. Add peel,
sherry, and sauce (remixed first); add boiling water. Bring to
simmer. Add chicken pieces. Cover and simmer for 1 hour or until
chicken is tender but still adhering to bones. When tender, remove
pieces from sauce. Transfer 1 cup of sauce, less the spices, to a
saucepan; thicken with cornstarch paste to a light gravy.
Arrange chicken pieces on large serving platter to resemble the shape
of a chicken. Place bunch of parsley or watercress at the tail, a
flower roll at the head with a piece of star anise for a beak. Pour
sauce over chicken when ready to serve.
