How long does it take to steam a whole chicken?

Generally speaking, it takes about thirty minutes to steam over high heat before it is ready to eat. When steaming chicken, pay attention to the heat. If the steaming time is too short, the chicken will be undercooked. If the chicken is steamed for too long, the meat will become old and the taste will be affected. At the same time, you can add some ginger or cooking wine when steaming the chicken, which can effectively remove the fishy smell.
