Step-by-Step Instructions
- Fill a large pot with 6 cups of water and bring it to a rolling boil, which takes about 5 minutes.
- Once boiling, add the chicken drumsticks, sliced ginger, and white parts of the scallions to the pot. Allow the water to return to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for about 10 minutes.
- Turn off the heat and cover the pot tightly. Let chicken steep in the hot water for an additional 5 minutes.
- Prepare an ice water bath in a large bowl. Transfer the chicken drumsticks to the ice water to cool completely for about 20 minutes.
- While cooling, combine olive oil, low sodium soy sauce, coconut sugar, and about 1/2 cup of reserved cooking water in a bowl. Whisk in more sliced ginger and chopped scallions.
- Remove the chicken from the ice bath, shred it onto a serving plate, and drizzle the sauce over the top.

Notes
Consider marinating the chicken in the sauce for 30 minutes before cooking for added flavor. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) for perfect results. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
