1. 1
   Open up the chicken breast by cutting along the thickest part with a knife, then cover with plastic wrap and gently pound with a rolling pin to achieve uniform thickness throughout.
   ▶ ≈1:55
2. 2
   Pierce both sides of the chicken with a fork to help the seasonings penetrate the meat.
   ▶ ≈2:34
3. 3
   First rub in the sugar thoroughly (sugar has water-retention properties and must be applied before salt), then sprinkle with Crazy Salt or other seasonings, and let sit for 30 minutes at room temperature.
   ▶ ≈2:48
4. 4
   Wipe off excess moisture, then tightly roll the chicken starting from the narrower end. Wrap with plastic wrap twice to ensure a complete seal, then wrap the entire bundle in aluminum foil.
   ▶ ≈5:20
5. 5
   Bring a large pot of water to a boil, add the wrapped chicken, and use a heat-safe plate to keep it submerged. Boil over medium heat for 8 minutes.
   ▶ ≈7:51
6. 6
   Turn off the heat, cover the pot, and let it sit for 2 hours to allow residual heat to gently finish cooking the chicken, resulting in a moist and tender texture.
   ▶ ≈8:19
7. 7
