Hainanese Chicken (minus the rice) using the Magic Saver Cooker

Behold further wonders from the trusty magic pot!

Hainanese Chicken

Hainanese Chicken using the Magic Saver Cooker (40 mins)
Chicken drumsticks, or chicken wings or breast meat whichever you prefer
Ginger
Black sauce (thick caramel sauce)
Salt
  1. Defrost the chicken and then peel off the skin. You can skip this if you like to eat chicken skin. 
  2. Wash the chicken thoroughly and salt it all over, before rinsing it again. 
  3. Peel and cut up some ginger. Then, mince it until it looks like, well, minced ginger. If you have a pestle and mortar, that would work better but as I don't, I just keep chopping it up with my chopper until it looked very well minced. 
  4. Pour some water into the magic saver cooker for boiling. The water level should be about 1 inch high. If you are cooking a whole chicken, the water level should be about 2 inches high.
  5. Once the water is boiled, put in the chicken, close the lid and boil for about 7 minutes (for a small chicken) or 10 minutes (if the chicken is bigger).
  6. Turn off the fire and place the pot in the magic saver cooker for half an hour.
  7. Remove the chicken and put a pinch of salt into the water, which by now should be some sort of chicken stock; boil for a bit.
  8. Serve the chicken with the soup, ginger and black sauce.
