Bite size pieces of chicken are marinated in a gingery oyster-sauce-based sauce, then steamed until juicy, tender and full of flavor. Lily flowers, wood ear mushrooms and goji berries are often added, for both texture and nutrition. The dish is usually served as an appetizer, but I love to enjoy it as a main dish as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"1200\" data-pin-description=\"Chinese steamed chicken is easy to make and features tender juicy chicken cooked in a savory sauce full of umami and aroma.

It requires using a very young and small chicken, so the meat layer is tender and thin, making the dish extra flavorful.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019ve found it a bit difficult to find this kind of chicken in the US unless you live close to Chinatown. In that case, you can get a very small chicken and ask the butcher to chop up the chicken for you. They are usually happy to do it for free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Alternatively, I have found it\u2019s very delicious to use skinless boneless chicken thighs to make this dish. And that version is way more accessible outside of China.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you do not have access to Chinatown or a Chinese market but still want to keep this dish pretty authentic, you can use chicken drumsticks and use a cleaver to cut each one into three pieces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-mise-en-place\">Mise en place<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Steamed chicken only requires a few pantry ingredients to make the sauce.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Oyster sauce<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Shaoxing wine<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Light soy sauce<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Ginger<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Peanut oil<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cornstarch<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Salt<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The cornstarch thickens the sauce and keeps the chicken extra juicy and tender.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I love to pair some dried lily flower and dried wood ear mushrooms for texture. Plus, they add fiber and vitamins to the dish. But you can skip them if you want.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The picture below shows all the ingredients in this dish for demonstration purposes. But you don\u2019t need to portion out each ingredient into separate bowls. Instead, you can simply add them directly to the chicken for marinating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"1200\" src=\"https:\/\/omnivorescookbook.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/240229_Chinese-Steamed-Chicken_6.jpg\" alt=\"Ingredients for making steamed chicken\" class=\"wp-image-37531\" srcset=\"https:\/\/omnivorescookbook.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/240229_Chinese-Steamed-Chicken_6.jpg 800w, https:\/\/omnivorescookbook.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/240229_Chinese-Steamed-Chicken_6-600x900.jpg 600w, https:\/\/omnivorescookbook.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/240229_Chinese-Steamed-Chicken_6-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/omnivorescookbook.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/240229_Chinese-Steamed-Chicken_6-270x405.jpg 270w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) calc(100vw - 40px), 728px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"1200\" data-pin-description=\"Chinese steamed chicken is easy to make and features tender juicy chicken cooked in a savory sauce full of umami and aroma.

You should marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes, but I prefer to leave at least 1 to 2 hours for the marinade to soak in. You can even prepare the dish a day before and marinate it in the fridge overnight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\" start=\"2\">\n<li><strong>Do not overcrowd the plate when steaming<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Depending on the size of your pot, you will need a proper sized plate to fit in the steamer. For the best result, you should not overlap the chicken too much. This way, they will steam quickly and evenly, to create the best result.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you need to double the recipe, simply portion out the ingredients and steam in two batches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\" start=\"3\">\n<li><strong>Do not overcook<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Depending on the material of the plate and the size of the chicken pieces, you might need to tweak the cooking time slightly. The best way is to check on the chicken from time to time, and immediately stop cooking once the chicken is just cooked through. This way, you\u2019ll be sure to keep the chicken juicy and tender.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-serve-steamed-chicken\">How to serve steamed chicken<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Steamed chicken can be served as a hot appetizer or a main course. It tastes great by itself and served over white rice.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Like I mentioned earlier, you can easily double the recipe to make a bigger dish if you\u2019re serving it as a main course. Depending on the size of your steamer, you might need to cook it in two batches for the best result.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"1200\" data-pin-description=\"Chinese steamed chicken is easy to make and features tender juicy chicken cooked in a savory sauce full of umami and aroma.

However, since it\u2019s less common to eat chicken that way in the US, I used boneless thighs in this recipe. For a more traditional approach, see my blog post above for tips on using bone-in cuts.<\/li>\n<li>I prefer to use a milder or neutral oil in this dish. But you can use sesame oil as well, if you like the nutty taste.<\/li>\n<li>The dried lily flowers, wood ear mushrooms and goji berries add texture and color to the dish. They are great if you happen to have them on hand. Otherwise you can totally skip them and just enjoy the chicken by itself.<\/li>\n<\/ol><\/div><\/div>\t\r\n\r\n\t\t<div class=\"wprm-recipe-nutrition-container\">\r\n\t\t<div
