Thanks for those links! They say an hour for a size 16 chicken, which is shorter than I would have thought! My recipe comes from The Fridge in Alexandra who are world famous for their Chicken Noodle Broth. It uses onion skins to give it the most gorgeous colour, and has egg noodles and bean sprouts; it's my absolutely favourite soup in the world.

I use the Chinese "white-cooked" method to poach a whole chicken.In case you're interested, here's a wonderful detailed recipe from Kylie Kwong.The poaching technique can of course be adapted to non-Asian flavours by simply using unflavoured homemade chicken stock as the poaching liquid.
White-cooked Chicken (Kylie Kwong)
1 free range chicken approx 1.6kg extra virgin olive oil 1 lemon in wedges salt and pepper
Masterstock:
6 litres cold water 750 ml Shao Xing wine 8 spring onions, cut in half crossways 12 cloves garlic, crushed 90 g ginger, sliced ½ c salt flakes
Place stock ingredients in a large pan, bring to the boil then simmer 40 min.
Rinse chicken, trim excess fat but keep intact including neck, parson’s nose, winglets.
Lower chicken into simmering stock breast side down, make sure it is fully submerged.Poach gently 14 minutes, just below simmering point.There should be little movement in the stock.
Immediately remove from heat and leave chicken to steep in the stock for 3 hours at room temp.
Carefully remove chicken from stock without breaking skin on breast.Cool on large plate.
To serve cut into quarters, trickle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Serve with lemon wedges and a dipping sauce.
Ginger Dipping Sauce
90 g ginger, chopped 1 bunch spring onions including dark green parts, finely sliced 1 bunch coriander stems and roots onlu, finely sliced ¾ tsp salt flakes pinch of white pepper ¾ c peanut oil
Pound ginger, spring onion, coriander and salt in a mortar to form a paste.Transfer to a heatproof bowl and add pepper.
Heat oil in small pan until moderately hot.Carefully pour over paste to scald.Mix well.
