Head to the kitchen and try this super simple method of boiling chicken without water, still delicious, tender, and juicy, perfect for treating your family!

Chicken is a nutritious food, suitable for many people, and can be prepared in a variety of tasty dishes. Boiled chicken is a simple dish but still delicious enough for a family meal. However, if not cooked properly, boiled chicken can end up with cracked skin, mushy meat, or remain undercooked.

To make delicious, tender boiled chicken without worrying about undercooking or overcooking, try boiling it without water using the method below:

Ingredients (for 4 people):

1 chicken (about 2 kg)
5 kaffir lime leaves
1 teaspoon of seasoning powder
1 tablespoon of salt

Prepare the chicken

First, remove all the feathers, then cut the chicken in half. Rub 1 tablespoon of salt thoroughly over the entire chicken, especially the head, neck, and anus, then wash it thoroughly and let it drain.

Boil the chicken

Place the chicken in a pot, then add 1 teaspoon of seasoning powder and rub it evenly. Next, add 5-6 washed kaffir lime leaves and 1 tablespoon of salt, then cover the pot. Turn the heat to low and cook for about 35-40 minutes until the chicken is fully cooked.

Note: Since this boiled chicken uses the steaming method, you should avoid opening the lid during cooking to ensure the chicken cooks evenly with the steam.

Result

The steamed boiled chicken is now ready. To enhance the flavor when enjoying the boiled chicken, you should prepare a plate of salt, pepper, and lime.
