After three times, if the temperature of the chicken's belly is the same as that of the outside, put the whole chicken in. Use low heat throughout the process, it must be a low fire, do not heat the water on a low fire like bubbling water. For about 35 minutes, "immerse" the chicken in hot water without covering it. When the time is up, use chopsticks to pierce the meat. If the chopsticks can be inserted into the meat, it proves it is cooked. Remove and place in ice cube water.Step 5
