aka: bak chit gai, baak cit gai, 白切雞, white cooked chicken, poached chicken, plain chicken

pairs-with: ginger-scallion-oil

slack: unforgiving — the pot has to be big enough and hot enough to carry the bird through: an under-poached chicken is a safety failure

washing-up: the stockpot, a bowl for the ice bath, a rack to rest the chicken on

keeps: 2 days — a cold dish anyway, but the skin loses its gel by the second day; cut the ginger fresh

step: rest 20 min, rub with sesame oil, chop
