@cookwithdana: If you had to cook one thing this week…it has to be this shredded chicken with spicy sauce! it has a little bit of spice from the thai chili but overall tastes super garlicky and fragrant. The chicken soaks up the sauce and tastes extra juicy! Pro tip: you can call your boyfriend/husband a ‘fan tong’ for being a good-for-nothing when he doesn’t take out the trash on time. ### **Boil chicken** - [ ] 5 pieces Chicken drumsticks (or 1.5 pound dark chicken meat) - [ ] 1 Green onion - [ ] 3 Ginger slices - [ ] 1/4 cup shaoxing cooking wine - [ ] 5 cups Water for boiling chicken ### **Scallion oil** - [ ] 3 green onions - [ ] 1/2 purple onion or 1 shallot - [ ] 1 cup neutral oil (avocado oil) cook to 285-300F ### **Spicy Sauce** - [ ] 1/2 cup scallion oil hot - [ ] 1 green onion sliced - [ ] 1 tablespoon ginger grated - [ ] 1 tablespoon garlic grated - [ ] 1 thai red chili, finely chopped optional - [ ] 1 tablespoon soy sauce - [ ] 1 tablespoon oyster sauce - [ ] 1 teaspoon sesame seeds ### **Garnish** - [ ] cucumber sliced Instructions - Boil water on medium heat.

Add green onions and purple onion to 1 cup of avocado oil. Once added, then turn on the heat to medium and fry for 10-12 minutes. - Fry onions while mixing together until they are golden (brown is OK). Make sure it is not too hot so you don’t burn the onions. Keep temperature at 285-300F. - Once golden, take the onions out of the oil and turn off heat. - The chicken should be done after 20-25 minutes, check with a thermometer to see if the chicken is at 165 degrees Fahrenheit.

Heat up the scallion oil until hot and add ½ cup of oil in the bowl until your desired taste. Watch it sizzle. Then, add oyster sauce and soy sauce. Mix together. - Add the sauce in the chicken (to taste) and mix together. Garnish with sliced cucumber. You can eat right away or place in the fridge for up to one day and eat it cold! #chinesechicken #shreddedchicken #easyasianrecipes
