Ingredients

Method

1.Remove excess fat from chicken. Place chicken in a 4.5-litre (18-cup) slow cooker. Add sliced ginger, halved garlic, star anise, cinnamon, sauce, wine, sugar and the water. Cook, covered, on low, 6 hours. Carefully transfer chicken to a chopping board. Reserve ¾ cup of the poaching liquid; discard the remainder.
2.Cut chicken into 12 pieces; place on a platter. Drizzle extra sauce, sesame oil and reserved poaching liquid over chicken.
3.Heat peanut oil in a small saucepan, over medium heat, until very hot; taking care as mixture will spatter, add garlic and ginger matchsticks. Immediately spoon hot oil mixture over chicken. Sprinkle with chilli, onion and coriander.

You can use ½ cup dry sherry with ½ cup water instead of the chinese cooking wine. This dish is suitable to freeze at the end of step 1.
