Chow Yow Gai

"Chow Yow Gai" or Chinese Boiled Chicken with Onions.
Is what's for dinner tonight.THE REAL WHITE MEAT !
How is it possible to pick up rice with chop sticks?
Anyway...
Lately I've been on a Chinese food kick and have been trying to make authentic Chinese dishes.
This one is simple and a good meal for a hot summer day.

Ingredients
1 (3 lb) chicken, cleaned
2 bunches green onions
1 tablespoon light soy sauce
1 tablespoon sesame oil
2 teaspoons salt
1/2 cup peanut oil, heated to smoking point

I fill a large soup pot with enough water to just cover chicken,
and bring to a full rolling Chinese boil.
Place the whole cleaned chicken into it.
When the water stops boiling, take the chicken out.
Cover the pot and when the water again boils, place the chicken back in the pot. Cover the pot and turn off the heat. Leave the chicken in the pot
and the pot on the burner. After one hour, the chicken is done. Remove, and cool.

Serve with cooked white rice.
