Cooking StepsHow to cook Cold-Served Chicken Roll step by step
-
Step 1 DetailPrepare the chicken: Remove the bone from the drumstick thighs. Use the back of a knife to pound the meat loosely — this helps it absorb marinade better and makes the texture more tender. Marinate: Add cooking wine, light soy sauce, oyster sauce, black pepper, and sea salt to the pounded chicken. Mix well and marinate for 1 hour.
-
Step 2 DetailRoll into a log: Roll up the marinated chicken thigh tightly. Wrap it firmly with aluminum foil, pinching both ends to secure the roll — this keeps its shape during cooking. Place the roll in a pot, add water to cover, then add Sichuan peppercorns, star anise, bay leaf, scallion, ginger, and cooking wine. Cover and bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to low and simmer for 30–35 minutes until cooked through.
-
Step 3 DetailCool and set: Remove the cooked roll and soak it in its own broth. Refrigerate overnight for the best texture!
-
Step 4 DetailSlice and serve: Cut the chilled roll into thick slices. Dip in your favorite sauce or enjoy as-is — it’s delicious cold!
