This was one of the healthy dishes the Emperor ate!<\/p>\n<p>In modern day health-conscious society, it&#8217;s also\u00a0important for us to eat well and be healthy. According to Chinese Traditional Chinese Medicine, Emperor Herbal Chicken is a fantastic energy booster if you\u00a0are\u00a0 mentally exhausted, over-worked, or have insufficient sleep, or are all of the above!<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-4011\" src=\"https:\/\/www.theburningkitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/emperor_herbal_chicken_recipe-9.jpg\" alt=\"Emperor Herbal Chicken with wolfberries and other herbs on top\" width=\"760\" height=\"428\" srcset=\"https:\/\/theburningkitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/emperor_herbal_chicken_recipe-9.jpg?v=1592144870 760w, https:\/\/theburningkitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/emperor_herbal_chicken_recipe-9-600x338.jpg?v=1592144870 600w, https:\/\/theburningkitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/emperor_herbal_chicken_recipe-9-300x169.jpg?v=1592144870 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) 100vw, 760px\" \/><\/p>\n<h1><span style=\"color: #ad0922;\">TRICK OF THE TRADE<\/span><\/h1>\n<p>For ready-to-cook packages for this dish, the seasoning\u00a0packs usually contain MSG which I am allergic to. That&#8217;s why I prefer to cook this dish from scratch, because its actually quite easy! All you need to do is get the ready-packed herbs (these are the actual herbs, not the powdered form)\u00a0which is sold at\u00a0traditional medicine halls, and\u00a0even in some supermarkets.<\/p>\n<p>Emperor&#8217;s Herbal Chicken is a dish that looks complicated, but its actually really easy. Your preparation time is 30 minutes. Then just leave it to boil for 2-3 hours (checking occasionally) to get that soft falling-apart texture from the chicken.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div>\n<h1><span style=\"color: #ad0922;\">HEALTH BENEFITS OF THIS DISH<\/span><\/h1>\n<p>here&#8217;s a list of the health benefits of this delicious and very nourishing dish!<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><em>Red dates replenish the blood; <\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Wolf berries help to promote\u00a0clear eyesight; <\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Dried longans nourish the blood and calm the spirit; <\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Chuan Gong improves the flow of Qi, lift the mood and\u00a0improve blood flow; <\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Tung Shen promotes salivation, aids ingestion and counters extreme mental and physical fatigue; <\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Bei Qi supplements the vital energy and reinforce the spleen and immune system.

On the other hand, the smaller chickens like Kampong Chicken won't have enough meat to be substantial.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h4><span style=\"color: #ad0922\">COOKING TIPS<\/span><\/h4>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Rub the chicken with coarse salt<\/strong> to remove all the dead yellowish skin from the chicken, especially under the wings, in between the folds of the chicken thigh and other\u00a0crevices. If you skip this step, the chicken may have a smell after it is cooked.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Remember to wash the chicken thoroughly<\/strong> after rubbing it with salt, otherwise the dish may end up too salty.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Rub the chicken with light soya sauce<\/strong> to\u00a0enhance its\u00a0taste as well as to give it a nice color when it is cooked.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Add the Wolf berries<\/strong> in last, because if you boil them for too long, they will become sourish in flavour.<\/li>\n<li><strong>When wrapping the parcel, seal the chicken as best as possible<\/strong>, so that all the flavours of the herbs will be nicely contained within the chicken, and the heat will be\u00a0retained in the parcel for a longer time.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Place the chicken in the baking tray after cooking<\/strong> as some of the soup may still leak out from the parcel.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h4><span style=\"color: #ad0922\">STEAMING TIPS<\/span><\/h4>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Make sure there is sufficient water to steam the chicken.<\/strong> If you use too little water, it won't produce enough steam so the chicken will take a long time to cook and won't be as soft and tender.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Make sure to use\u00a0boiling water<\/strong> if you need to top up the water for steaming at any time, otherwise the change in temperature will affect the cooking time.<\/li>\n<\/ol><\/div><\/div>\n<h3 class=\"wprm-recipe-header wprm-recipe-nutrition-header wprm-block-text-uppercase wprm-align-left wprm-header-decoration-none\" style=\"\">Nutrition<\/h3><div
