Time 1h

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 large chicken, about 4 1/2 pounds
1 teaspoon white peppercorns
1 1-inch piece ginger root, peeled and quartered
2 teaspoons coarse sea salt
2 large red onions, peeled, halved and very thinly sliced
2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons lime juice, preferably from key limes
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup chopped mint

Steps:

  • Remove any excess fat from the cavity of the chicken and place the chicken and giblets (excluding the liver) in a large stockpot. Add the white peppercorns, ginger, sea salt and 4 quarts of water to the pot. Place over medium-high heat and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer, uncovered, until the chicken is very tender, about 30 minutes.
  • Remove the chicken from the pot and set aside to cool. Strain the broth, discarding the solids, and reserve for another use.
  • When the chicken is cool, use your hands to remove and discard the skin. Pull the meat from the carcass and discard the carcass. Place the meat in a large bowl and use your fingers to finely shred it. Add the onions, lime juice, salt, black pepper and mint to the bowl and toss until thoroughly mixed. Serve at room temperature.

This chicken salad is a bit too spicy for my taste. I think I'll try using less chili powder next time.

I'm allergic to onions, so I had to omit them from this recipe. The salad was still delicious, but I think it would have been even better with the onions.

This chicken salad is just okay. It's not bad, but it's not great either.

The chicken in this salad was a bit dry. I think I'll try poaching the chicken next time instead of baking it.
