First, wash the boneless chicken thigh thoroughly, then place it on a wire rack to air dry, or carefully pat dry the surface moisture with kitchen paper towels.
Lightly score the thicker parts of the chicken a few times. This helps the chicken cook more evenly when steaming, prevents it from shrinking excessively, and allows it to cook through faster.
Next, evenly sprinkle salt (about 0.8% of the chicken's weight) and white pepper to taste on both sides of the chicken. Gently rub and massage by hand to allow the chicken to absorb the flavors thoroughly.
Prepare a steamer, lining the bottom with a sheet of aluminum foil (shiny side facing inwards). If you have concerns about aluminum foil, you can also use parchment paper instead!
Carefully place the marinated chicken thigh onto the aluminum foil inside the steamer.
The acidity of lemon will decrease after heating, resulting in a mildly sour and refreshing taste. If you want to enhance the flavor, you can add a green onion or a splash of sake while steaming; it tastes great too.
If you have concerns about aluminum foil, you can use parchment paper to wrap the chicken instead, turning it into a delicious 'paper-wrapped chicken'.
The freshness of the chicken is key to the success of this dish; be sure to choose fresh boneless chicken thighs.
The delicious sauce produced after steaming the chicken can be drizzled over the chicken, or used to dress blanched vegetables, adding layers of flavor to them.
Don't discard chicken bones; you can collect them and freeze them. After accumulating 2-3 portions, you can use them to simmer a delicious chicken bone broth.
If you enjoy Southeast Asian flavors, you can prepare a Thai-style sauce to go with it: mix a little fish sauce, soy sauce, palm sugar, chili, minced garlic, and fresh lemon juice. Stir well and sprinkle with cilantro. This sweet, sour, and spicy sauce will make the lemon steamed chicken even more appetizing!
Please adjust the steaming time flexibly according to the actual size and thickness of your chicken to ensure it is thoroughly cooked.
