Asian Braising: Szechuan Sherry Braised Chicken and Bok Choy

WARNING: THIS DISH CONTAINS ALCOHOL!

The use of alcohol in home Asian kitchens is not really too popular however when you head out to some of the finer restaurants, you will find many dishes using wine and some distilled spirits. Szechuan Sherry Braised Chicken and Bok Choy is one of those dishes.

Sherry is a popular sweet wine (a dry sherry is less sweet) and it pairs wonderfully well with chicken. It is also a great wine to braise with as it retains its flavor and sweetness. What is braising? Simply put, it is cooking in liquid.

For both presentation and functionality, we remove the elongated bone from the chicken legs for this dish. It is quite simple to do. Just take a cleaver or a heavy knife and whack it right off!

This is a very simple dish to make at home and would be considered a "one pot meal."
