In reply to Jeng. Soaking in ice water will make the skin much smoother and at the same time, prevent the chicken from overcooked by the remaining heat.

In reply to Elaine. Hi! Thanks for your recipe. Want to try it out. May I ask why the chicken needs to be soaked in ice water?

I love this way of poaching chicken it always comes out moist and tender, thereafter I use the meat to make a stew. Much easier than cutting up raw chicken, but I do remove and cook the breast meat separately.

In reply to Nancy Valois. Nancy, Star anise can be used but not necessary for white cut chicken.

I believe the missing ingredient in this dish of yours would be Star Anise….

In reply to Zosia. Zosia, No, re-heating sounds not a good idea since it make the chicken meat slightly overheated. If you really are in hurry, check this steamed version. You can make preparation by marinating the chicken and then steam it before serving.

Hi Elaine!!:))
I love Your blog! My 4 years old twin girls and my husband love to eat every meal I prepare from Your recipes:). I have a question – can I prepare the chicken in advance and reheat it after, and it won’t lose much of it’s juiciness?
Thx in advance 🙂
