Coconut Chicken

Method

1. 01

   Step 1

   Prepare a coconut. Either a young coconut or a mature coconut will do; a mature coconut is more fragrant.

   

2. 02

   Step 2

   Find the hole in the coconut and poke it open with chopsticks.

   

3. 03

   Step 3

   Pour out the coconut milk and set aside.

   

4. 04

   Step 4

   Cut the coconut open. Because the shell is very hard, you'll need a tool: a saw or a hammer. I used a hammer to break it open.

   

5. 05

   Step 5

   After breaking the coconut into small pieces, cut off the black skin. Rinse it with water, then cut it into strips.

   

6. 06

   Step 6

   Filter the coconut milk.

   

7. 07

   Step 7

   Place the chicken, coconut strips, coconut milk, red dates, and codonopsis root in a pot, then add an appropriate amount of water. Add a little cooking wine. (The chicken should be blanched beforehand.)

   Step 8

   Simmer 40 30 . Add a little salt at the end. Your coconut chicken is ready!
