INSTRUCTIONS
Cut scallion stalks in 1/2-inch sections. Place in a large heavy pan, along with brown sugar, soy sauce, sherry and water. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Wipe chicken with a damp cloth and add to pan. Bring to a boil again; then simmer, covered, 40 minutes, turning bird once or twice for even coloring. Let chicken cool slightly. With a cleaver, chop, bones and all, in 2-inch sections; or carve Western-style. Serve hot with its sauce; or serve cold, reserving sauce for later use as a "master sauce" (see recipe). NOTE: For a 4- to 5-pound bird, cook 30 minutes on each side, basting frequently. VARIATION: In step 1, for the scallions, substitute 3 slices fresh ginger root; 1 garlic clove, crushed; and 1 Clove star anise. From <The Thousand Recipe Chinese Cookbook>, ISBN 0-517-65870-4.
