Directions
01
Render the chicken skin and fat. Start the cooking on dark meat cuts such as legs and thighs. We’re going to cook the entire dish solely relying on the chicken fat, no added oil here.
02
Add in garlic, ginger, onion (optional) and cook with the chicken fat for a few minutes.
03
Cook out the rice wine then add rock sugar, soy paste, and soy sauce. At this point also toss in chicken breast if it’s part of the meal. Cook everything to your desired doneness, maybe around 10min. Add in some water if the liquid’s over-reducing.
04
Turn off the heat and add in basil. There’s plenty heat to cook the basil at this point. I like to leave some raw ones on the top for plating purposes.
