Marinating and Steaming
Slaughter the chicken, pluck the feathers, and wash it thoroughly. Rub salt all over the inside and outside of the chicken and let it marinate briefly. Place the chicken in a deep bowl, pour the cooking wine over it, add the ginger slices, then add the sugar and a suitable amount of water. Steam over boiling water for 1 hour.
