**The chicken is removed from the heat and allowed to finish cooking in the hot broth as it stands. This method of cooking chicken, popular in Chinese cooking, results in chicken that is tender, juicy and never overcooked. Use the water in which the chicken is cooked as the base for chicken broth. Just add any bones, scraps of meat and wing tips you have been saving in the freezer. You may want to add a few slices of gingerroot. Simmer for 1 hour, then stain. Hot oil can be purchased at Oriental specialty; stores. If you want to make your own, turn to Oil, Hot in the glossary for directions.
