Easy Steps
01Sear the chicken skin side down in a deep saucepan.
02Remove any excess oil from the pan that leaches out, and then add water, along with everything else. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer.
03Cook for about 30 to 45 mins until the chicken starts falling off the bone.
04Remove the chicken, discard the skin and quickly shred the meat using two forks while hot.

- Water: 1 litre
- Sliced Ginger : 1-inch thick piece
