Cantonese-style white cut chicken, also known as 'bai qie ji' in Mandarin, is a simple yet delicious dish that showcases the natural flavors of the chicken. The chicken is poached in a fragrant broth made with ginger, scallions, and other aromatics, resulting in tender and succulent meat. It is often served with a dipping sauce made from soy sauce, sesame oil, and ginger. This dish is a staple in Cantonese cuisine and is commonly enjoyed during festive celebrations.
