White Cut Chicken, also known as white boiled chicken or plain boiled chicken, is a popular dish in Chinese cuisine. It is made by boiling a whole chicken in water with some herbs and spices, such as ginger and green onion. The chicken is cooked until tender and the meat turns white.

Ingredients
- 3 pounds whole chicken
- 4 slices ginger
- 4 green onions
- 2 teaspoons salt
- Ice water (for cooling)
For the dipping sauce:
- 2 tablespoons light soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon green onions finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon minced ginger
Instructions
- Prepare a large pot of water and bring it to a boil. The pot should be big enough to fit the whole chicken.
- Rinse the chicken under cold water and remove any excess fat or giblets.
- Place the chicken into the boiling water, breast side down, along with the ginger slices and green onions. This will help to add flavor to the chicken.
- Bring the water back to a gentle simmer and cook the chicken for about 30-40 minutes, depending on the size of the bird. Make sure it is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
- Once cooked, carefully remove the chicken from the pot and place it into a large bowl filled with ice water. Let it cool for about 10-15 minutes. This will help to make the chicken’s skin tender and retain its moisture.
- While the chicken is cooling, you can prepare the dipping sauce. In a small bowl, mix together the light soy sauce, sesame oil, finely chopped green onion, and minced ginger.
- After the chicken has cooled, pat it dry with paper towels. Rub the skin with salt, which will add some extra flavor.
- Finally, cut the chicken into serving pieces and serve it with the dipping sauce on the side.
