Step 1

To prepare the chicken for cooking, pull the drumsticks down and away from the chicken's body to loosen the joints up and make a hole at the base of the neck into the chicken's cavity.

Step 2

Boil a large pot of water (enough to cover the whole chicken) and dip the chicken into the water several times to allow the water to go through the inside.

Step 3

Remove the chicken from the pot and submerge it into an ice-water bath. Allow it cool for five minutes.

Step 4

Heat a wok on high heat, pour the salt into wok and stir for several minutes.

Step 5

Remove the chicken from the ice-water bath.
