Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Brine chicken in water and salt in a container overnight in the fridge.

  2. 2

    In a pot combine and boil the broth ingredients for 10-15 mins (with lid)

  3. 3

    Fish out the chicken and discard the brine water. Rub chicken with a little salt (already salty) and pour drops of sesame oil on the skin side. Then add to the boiling broth.

  4. 4

    Bring the pot to a boil again then lower heat. Simmer with lid for 5 minutes then flip to the other side and simmer another 5 minutes.

  5. 5

    Turn off heat and let it continue to cook in its residual heat for 20mins (covered with lid).

  6. 6

    BULGUR: Meanwhile, in a pan, heat oil and toast bulgur a few minutes. Then add 1 cup of the broth from the pot of chicken. Cover and turn off heat once all liquid is absorbed. Set aside and leave covered for another 20 minutes.

  7. 7

    Go back to the pot and fish out cooked chicken. Place in a container with a little broth, skin side down to prevent from drying while you prepare the veggies.

  8. 8

    In the remaining broth in the pot, cook your veggies until done.

  9. 9

    Serve chicken with bulgur/wheat rice and veggies.
