1. Prepare a white-cut chicken (see recipe "White Cut Chicken").

2. With a cleaver, chop chicken, bones and all, in 2-inch sections. Arrange on a serving platter, skin side up. (You may, if you wish, bone it first, then either slice chicken thin or cut in strips. )

3. Serve in any of the following ways:

Garnish with smoked ham, slivered; and scallions and Chinese parsley, minced.

Rub a few drops of sesame oil on the chicken skin; serve a soy sauce dip on the side.

Sprinkle 1 or 2 tablespoons soy or oyster sauce over the chicken, or use in larger quantities as a dip.

Sprinkle a mixture of 3 tablespoons honey, 1-1/2 tablespoons oyster sauce and 1/2 teaspoon salt over chicken; garnish with 2 slices fresh ginger root and 2 scallions, minced.
