Step-by-Step Instructions
- Start by filling a large pot with 6 cups of water and bring it to a rolling boil over high heat.
- Once the water is boiling, carefully add the chicken drumsticks, ginger slices, and the white parts of the scallions into the pot. Allow the mixture to return to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium and let it simmer for 10 minutes.
- After the 10 minutes of simmering, turn off the heat and cover the pot with a lid. Let the chicken sit in the hot water for an additional minute.
- While the chicken is resting, prepare an ice bath by filling a large bowl with ice and cold water. Once the chicken has finished resting, carefully remove the drumsticks from the pot and submerge them in the ice bath.
- While the chicken cools, grab a mixing bowl and combine olive or sesame oil, low sodium soy sauce, coconut sugar, a few tablespoons of the reserved chicken water, chopped ginger, and the green parts of the scallions. Stir until the sugar dissolves.
- Once the chicken is cool, take it out of the ice bath and shred it into bite-sized pieces on a serving plate. Drizzle the prepared sauce over the shredded chicken.

Notes
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Poach the chicken ahead of time and store it in the fridge, then prepare the sauce just before serving for a quick meal.
