Whether it's poached, braised, or salt-baked, a whole chicken is a deeply symbolic food in Chinese culture. Today, we have a complete guide to preparing a whole chicken in the Chinese style, so you can keep this tradition going for generations to come! We break down why a Chinese-style whole chicken is tastier, culturally and culinarily irreplaceable, and why it's so important for the next generation to learn how to poach a whole chicken.
Today's video is shared in partnership with family-owned Bo Bo Poultry Market, a family-owned and locally-operated New York business that was the first to raise and produce Hong Kong-style or “Buddhist” style chicken in the United States. As always, all opinions are our own!
You can read our full guide on how to cook whole Buddhist-style chicken over at our blog:
