    Soya sauce chicken is a family favorite. Never made it as a whole chicken . I like the idea of basting chicken with hot water to ensure a good skin consistency and color !

    Off Topic but… I just watched a Video about Cooking Rats that had 3.5 MILLION views…they also used Boiling Water to remove the Hairs from the Skin… Odd that water has so many uses…

    Yeah, you could braise it for longer for a bigger bird or you could punch some thin, but deep cuts into the meat with a Jacquard-style knife array tool. You'll end up with deep penetration of the sauce into the muscle fibers without rendering too much of that fat that makes the meat juicy.

    The only thing I can offer is after the chicken is done, be sure to strain the sauce. You don't want to bite down on a piece of star anise. They are rock hard and never soften,. trust me.

    Don't use veggies oil for cooking it's very dangerous chemical causes stroke, cancer, diabetes and heart failure. Render animal fat like chicken, pork, fish, etc are only way to go and that's how human able to live with no illness in the last million year. People are sick and dying ever since medical industry founded vegetable oil back in 1980 and promoting it as "healthy alternative fat", which is a big lies by medical and pharmaceutical industry.

    Tip: If you dont have sugar cane you can melt some white sugar in a pan on low medium heat to melt and caramelise, stir regularly and you start to see it melt. Once you dont see and sugar crystals then you’re done. You can pour it on a baking tray to cool. Once its cool crack it into pieces, save some for another time too.

    I use a gallon freezer bag, and sous vide cooker. When I pull the air out of the bag, I am able to use not a lot of the soy sauce recipe to cook the whole chicken. I cut the chicken into 8 pieces first so it fits better into the gallon zip bag.

    If I may say with much consideration for what you are doing, sharing valuable recipes and techniques made by your dad, thank you. However, I have been watching your videos less and less because you have commercialized it all too well. The advertisements that you plug tends to lose the authenticity and rawness of your father’s abilities in the kitchen. I hope you can consider this suggestion. Thank you.

    Love this channel! Its the best Youtube channel for Cantonese cuisine. Just one comment for safety’s sake: In the US, it is recommended by food safety experts NOT to wash chicken that is sold already packed in the supermarkets. The chicken is already pre-washed and free of foreign material. Washing will only spread salmonella (and other microbes) in and around your sink area.

    I am so excited to make this. Does you dad know how to make the dish that you sometimes see at dimsum or a weddings, its usually cold thinly sliced beef served cold and spicy,? It has this gelatinous marbling through out. I'm sorry I dont know the name of it.

    I think this would be a great dish to make sous vide after par-blanching and drying the chicken. Always learning a lot of awesome techniques from your dad, keep up with the great recipes.
