Zero Oil Chinese Style Braised Chicken Mid-joints

~ Fatless Braised Chicken Mid-joints ~

Which part of a chicken do you like the most? Are you also a chicken mid-joint person like me? I actually enjoy most part of a chicken as long as they are cooked fatless and moist. Chicken mid-joint can be cooked in so many ways, from Vietnamese to Chinese and Korean, you name it. It is succulent when cooked and smooth in texture compared to the other parts in a chicken apart from drumsticks.

Simplicity is always the key to all my cooking. That is the way how lazy cooking can be done knowing that my fresh ingredients can be cooked and enjoyed the way they are with minimal seasoning and tempering throughout the cooking process. Hence, I have prepared my chicken mid-joints the fatless way yet again with my AMC automatic premium cookware system.

When the chicken mid-joints are cooked with an AMC automatic system, it is on high heat level at the initial cooking process up to 50°C-69°C, adjusted to lower heat level hovering around 70°C-98°C which is the ideal cooking temperature and turned off itself when cooking is done. That whole process, if you could imagine, browned and extracted all fats from the chicken mid-joints in the pan and braised the wings for as long as you instruct the system to do so. All done without additional oil and without additional water added to the dish.

Chicken mid-joints and brown onion cooked with zero oil and without additional water drew natural fat and juice which then circulate in the Hotpan unit in that ideal temperature forming gravy sufficiently moist for the braised dish. It is really a perfect dish with no additional calories added while I enjoy my favourite chicken mid-joints. I can have a dozen on my own!
