Time 9h5m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 (4 pound) whole chicken
¼ cup kosher salt
1 cup short-grain white rice
1 cup roasted peanuts
½ cup chopped dried apricots
2 tablespoons sliced fresh ginger
8 cups chicken broth
8 cups water
2 black tea bags
½ cup soy sauce, or to taste
1 pinch kosher salt to taste
1 cup chopped cilantro

Steps:

  • Rub chicken with 1/4 cup kosher salt, cover, and refrigerate overnight.
  • Rinse chicken and pat dry with paper towels.
  • Mix short-grain rice, peanuts, apricots, and ginger together in a bowl; stuff the rice mixture into the chicken cavity. Tie legs together with a piece of kitchen twine.
  • Pour chicken broth and water into a large soup pot and bring to a boil. Place chicken into the boiling mixture, breast side down; drop tea bags into the liquid. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer chicken for 45 minutes, turning chicken over in the broth after 30 minutes.
  • Remove chicken from broth, transfer rice stuffing to a bowl, and cut chicken into quarters. Discard tea bags; strain broth, reserving any rice. Stir in soy sauce to taste and season to taste with salt. Serve chicken on a platter garnished with cilantro, with broth and rice stuffing on the side.
