1

Wash 1 cup of glutinous rice 2-3 times and soak for 30 minutes to 1 hour.

2

Remove the wing tips, tail, and excess fat from the chicken. Stuff 5 cloves of garlic and 4-5 tablespoons of soaked glutinous rice into the chicken.

3

Make incisions on both sides of the chicken thighs and cross the legs to secure them.

4

Add 1 onion, 1 green onion, 5 cloves of garlic, and the soaked glutinous rice into a bag.

5

In a pot, add 2.5 liters of water and the chicken. Once the water starts boiling, skim off any impurities for 5 minutes.

6

Add 1 bottle of herbal tonic, the glutinous rice bag, 0.5 tablespoons of salt, onion, green onion, and 5 cloves of garlic. Close the lid and simmer on medium-low heat for 30 minutes.
