Ingredients

2 tablespoons canola oil
1 large Spanish onion, diced
5 cloves garlic, smashed
1/4 cup Chinese bean paste
2 2- to 2 1/2-pound chickens, head and feet discarded, cleaned and rinsed
1 inch-thick piece of unpeeled ginger, cut into 4 pieces
1 inch-thick piece unpeeled fresh or frozen galangal, smashed
2 Thai bird chilies
1/2 cup wolfberries or 1/4 cup finely diced dried apricots
1/4 cup diced jujubes (also known as hong zao or red dates) or 1/8 cup of dried brown dates, diced
3 cups dark soy sauce
1 cup cola
1 star anise pod
2 cardamom pods
2 cinnamon sticks
1 clove

Steps:

Place a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan or Dutch oven over medium heat, and add oil. When oil is hot, add onion, garlic and bean paste, and sauté until onion is tender.
Add chickens, ginger, galangal, chilies, wolfberries, jujubes, soy sauce and cola. Stir, and add star anise, cardamom, cinnamon, clove and just enough water to cover chickens. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Simmer, covered, for 45 minutes. Remove chickens, cut into serving pieces, and serve with broth ladled over chicken and steamed rice.
If you want a thicker sauce, remove chickens. Cook broth over high heat until it becomes syrupy and glossy, about 20 minutes. If too salty, add a little water. Cut chicken into serving portions, add to sauce, heat through and serve.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I made a batch of chicken soup and then used the leftover chicken to make this dish. It was delicious!

I've tried many black-skinned chicken recipes before, but this one is by far the best. The dark soy sauce gives the chicken a beautiful color and the flavor is amazing.
