Steps:
- Debone the chicken leg quarters, keeping the skin on. Keep the bones to make a homemade stock, which you'll be using in this recipe. You might be able to ask your butcher to help you with this step!
- In a small pot, add your reserved chicken bones, 2 ½ cups water, and ginger. Bring to a boil and simmer over low heat for at least 1 hour (or longer). We'll need 1 ½ cups of chicken broth for the recipe. You can also eliminate this step if you want to use store-bought chicken stock.
- Rinse off your de-boned chicken and pat thoroughly dry with a paper towel. Grab 2 pieces of aluminum foil, each about 12" long. Lay each piece of chicken onto a piece of foil, and sprinkle with ¼ teaspoon salt. Roll up the chicken lengthwise, and then wrap in the foil, twisting both sides to form a candy-like bundle.
- Steam the chicken in the foil over high heat for 20 minutes, covered. Turn off the heat and let the chicken sit in the steamer for another 5 minutes with the lid tightly closed.
- Transfer the foil wrapped chicken to an ice bath, and let it sit there for 10-15 minutes, until the chicken is completely cool. This step ensures that the juices remain locked in and improves the chicken's overall texture.
- Now it's time to make the brine. In a non-reactive container (I used a glass loaf pan. Anything narrow and deep, where the chicken can remain submerged, will work), add the 1 ½ cups chicken broth, 1 ½ cups shaoxing wine, sugar, salt, and goji berries. Once the chicken is cool, unwrap the chicken and place in the brine. Cover and refrigerate for 24 hours.v
- Slice and serve cold or at room temperature. This dish is usually served as a cold appetizer. Remember to store the chicken in the brine until serving and use clean utensil whenever coming contact with the brine and chicken. Consume the chicken within 3 days.
- Note: We did this dish with equal parts wine and broth. You can change the ratio according to your own tastes, whether you like a stronger or lighter wine taste. But beware...upping the ratio of wine can make the chicken bitter, so proceed with caution.

DRUNKEN CHICKEN
This classic Shanghai dish involves soaking poached chicken in rice wine. The wine used is Shaoxing (sometimes called hua diao wine), a Chinese cooking wine typically used in stir-fries and marinades and known for its amber color and floral flavor. This version of drunken chicken includes some of the chicken poaching liquid mixed into the marinade to temper the strong flavor of the Shaoxing. Some recipes use equal parts wine and poaching liquid, but we found it a bit overpowering. Feel free to adjust the amount of wine to your liking. The addition of goji berries is optional (and not traditional), but it adds sweetness and color to the dish.

Steps:
- Sprinkle 2 tablespoons salt on the chicken, making sure to season the inside of the cavity. Leave the chicken at room temperature for 1 hour.
- Meanwhile, bring 4 quarts of cold water to a boil over medium-high heat in a 7-quart Dutch oven. Add 2 tablespoons salt, the ginger and whole scallion. Slowly lower the chicken into the boiling water with the breast side up. Bring the water back up to a gentle boil.
- Carefully lift the chicken out using the handles of 2 wooden spoons or 2 pairs of chopsticks positioned under the wings; be careful not to tear the skin (do not use tongs as they can easily tear the skin). Lift the chicken just high enough and tilt it so all the water drains from the cavity into the pot; this allows cold water in the cavity to drain and ensures even cooking.
- Lower the chicken back into the water. Bring the water back to a gentle simmer and reduce the heat to low. Cook, covered, until the juices run clear when the chicken is pierced between the leg and thigh, 33 to 35 minutes. Right before the chicken is done, prepare a large bowl of ice water.
- Transfer the chicken to ice water breast-side down; reserve the liquid the chicken poached in. Let the chicken cool for about 10 minutes, flipping it once after about 5 minutes. (The ice bath prevents the chicken from overcooking, but also helps to firm the meat and tighten the skin.) Remove the chicken, letting the excess water drain off.
- Whisk together 2 cups of the reserved poaching liquid, the wine, sugar and 1 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl until the sugar dissolves. Set aside to cool to room temperature.
- Carve the chicken with a meat cleaver or chef's knife: Start by detaching both leg quarters (leg and thigh together) from the body. Chop the leg quarters through the bone into roughly 3/4-inch pieces. Cut off the wings and drumettes. Split the wing flat lengthwise to expose the meat. Cut the breast bone down the center to separate the two breast halves. Cut each half through the bone into 3/4-inch pieces. Lay the chicken pieces in a 2-quart casserole dish in a single layer.
- Sprinkle the goji berries if using around the chicken. Pour the wine mixture over the chicken making sure it's submerged; add a little more poaching liquid if it's not. Cover and refrigerate overnight or up to 2 days.
- Serve cold, taking the chicken pieces out of the marinade and garnishing them with the goji berries and thinly sliced scallions if using.
TEA-SOAKED DRUNKEN CHICKEN WITH CILANTRO-SCALLION OIL
Made from fermented glutinous brown rice, Shaoxing wine is what gives this dish its slightly sweet flavor and nutty fragrance. The dish relies heavily on the wine's aroma and flavor, so if you can't find it, substitute with a good quality dry sherry (a Manzanilla variety will work well). Here, the chicken is poached instead of simmered, guaranteeing a moist bird that soaks in the flavor of its cooking liquid. But if it's a more intense flavor you're looking for, allow the chicken to chill in the poaching liquid overnight.

Steps:
- In a medium saucepan, combine rice and 2 1/4 cups water and bring to a boil. Cover and simmer gently over low heat until all of the liquid is absorbed, 20 minutes. Turn off the heat and let stand covered for 10 minutes. Fluff with a fork.
- As rice cooks, combine wine, tea bags, salt, sugar, ginger, peppercorns and 2 cups of water in another medium saucepan, and mix well. Add chicken (make sure it is completely submerged) and bring to a boil. Cover, turn off the heat and let stand until cooked through, about 15 minutes (poaching time may vary by a few minutes if chicken breast is smaller or larger than 1/2 pound). Transfer chicken to a cutting board and let rest for at least 5 minutes. Discard the poaching liquid.
- Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine cilantro, scallions, oil and lime juice and season with salt and pepper. Mix well.
- Slice chicken and serve with brown rice and cilantro-scallion oil.

Steps:
- Remove any fat pockets from the chicken. Rub chicken with about 2 tsp. salt. Rinse the chicken under cold water and drain on a rack.
- In a 6-quart pot, or a pot large enough to fit the chicken, bring 3 quarts cold water to a boil over high heat, covered. Carefully add chicken, breast-side up, adding more boiling water, if necessary, to completely cover chicken. Cover and return to a boil over high heat. When the broth returns to a rolling boil, boil vigorously over high heat, uncovered, 17 minutes, removing any scum that rises to the surface. Remove from heat. Using 2 heavy spoons, carefully transfer hot chicken to a colander in the sink. Slowly pour 4 quarts ice water over the chicken, until chicken is warm to the touch.
- Return the chicken cooking liquid to a rolling boil over high heat. Again, carefully add the partially cooked chicken, breast-side up, adding more boiling water, if necessary, to completely cover chicken. Return to a boil over high heat, uncovered. When the broth returns to a rolling boil, boil vigorously over high heat, uncovered, 17 minutes, removing any scum that rises to the surface. Remove from heat. Using 2 heavy spoons, carefully transfer hot chicken to a colander in the sink. (The chicken should register 170 degrees when tested with a meat thermometer at the meatiest part of the thigh. If not, return to the pot and simmer several more minutes.) Slowly pour the remaining 4 quarts of ice water over the chicken in the colander, until chicken is warm to the touch. Save the chicken broth and reserve for soups.
- Place the chicken on a rack and air-dry 30 minutes in a cool and breezy room. Sprinkle the entire surface of the chicken with 3⁄4 tsp. salt. With a meat cleaver, chop the chicken through the bone into bite-size pieces, reserving any chicken juices (or disjoint into serving pieces). Place the chicken in a casserole dish and pour rice wine over the chicken. Cover and marinate 1 to 2 hours at room temperature, occasionally basting chicken with rice wine. Pour reserved juices back into the casserole.
- Meanwhile, place scallions, ginger, and remaining 1½ tsp. salt in a small heatproof dish. In a small skillet, heat oil over high heat until hot but not smoking. Carefully pour hot oil over scallions and ginger. The oil will make a crackling sound as it hits the scallions and ginger. Serve chicken with scallion-ginger sauce at room temperature.

DRUNKEN SMOTHERED CHICKEN
What can I say? Another southern inspired recipe! It's close to what I had down in NOLA, but I put my own spin to it. I love the flavor the wine and the garlic give it. VERY RICH, but VERY worth it!

Steps:
- Season your chicken pieces with half the creole seasoning.
- Heat olive oil in dutch oven and brown chicken pieces for about 4 minutes per side on Med-High heat. Just until golden brown.
- Take out of skillet and set aside on plate or in dish.
- Add butter, onions, bell peppers, and celery to skillet. Saute for 5 minutes or until veggies start to get lightly brown and caramelized. Slowly stir in flour and cook for another 2 minutes or until flour is fully incorperated and lightly browned.
- Add chicken stock slowly and stir until incorperated and it begins to thicken.
- Return chicken to pot and add the rest of the creole seasoning, garlic, black and white pepper, white wine, thyme and bay leaves.
- Bring to a boil and then let simmer on low covered for 30 minutes.
- Add heavy cream and hot sauce. Stir and taste. May need a little kosher salt to taste.
- Bring to a boil again, and let simmer on low for another 20 minutes.
- Serve over white rice.
- Goes great with french bread and white wine.
- People say "But, there are bones in there!".
- But I believe that's the secret to the amazing flavor.
- You can take the skin off of your chicken and use half and half instead of heavy cream, but that's about the most fat/flavor I'd take out.
