Chinese Steam Chicken

Directions

1. 1
   Set a pot of water on medium-high with a piece of ginger; once boiled, drop the pieces of drumsticks to clear the scum and set aside. It should be very quick: in and out.
2. 2
   Set the steamer to medium-high; massage in the shao xing wine, and 1tsp of salt into the pieces of chicken. Scatter the scallions and ginger pieces onto the bottom of the steamer pan; put the chicken pieces in there along with any juice.
3. 3
   Steam for 30 minutes.
4. 4
   Remove the pan, and scatter the remaining 1tsp of salt and let it rest onto the chickens; once cooled massage the salt along with the juice into the chicken. Serve with rice.
5. 5
   Depending on my mood, I like to drizzle with sesame oil, or some homemade hot chili oil.
