This steam chicken is different from most Chinese steam chicken recipes which called for ginger to give steam chicken dish a fresh kick, cut down fattiness and even tenderise meat. In this tasty, herba-licious Steam Chicken Thigh with Dried Tangerine Peel, Red Dates & Goji Berries Recipe, the bitter and pungent tangerine peel was used to not only makes the whole dish smells good but tangerine peel or commonly known as Chen Pi, 陈皮 in Chinese is believe to have the ‘ability to regulate Qi’ in TCM. Tangerine peel is known as 'warm' in nature which help to eliminate 'Cold' in the body while the bitter taste tends to have a cleansing action on the body to clear Heat, remove Dampness and increase urination or bowel movements. The pungency of tangerine peel helps to promote the circulations of Qi and Body Fluids.
Red dates are also 'warm' in nature. The sweetness of red dates tends to slow down acute reactions and detoxify the body. They also have a tonic effect which replenish Qi and Blood. Goji berries on the other hand is 'neutral' in nature compared to the 2 dried ingredients mentioned earlier. This means that consuming goji berries typically doesn't affect the balance in your body. They are sweet, thus has the same actions towards body like red dates.
Last but not least, chicken itself is consider a warming protein in TCM compared to duck.

蒸鸡食谱通常使用姜来去腥并、减少油脂，还可以使肉质更加嫩滑。在这陈皮、红枣、枸杞蒸鸡腿食谱中，苦而辛的陈皮不仅让整个菜肴闻起来很香，而且陈皮从中医角度具有调气的功能。陈皮性温，有助于驱寒，而其苦味能清热、除湿、排毒。桔皮的辛辣有助于促进血液循环。
红枣也性温。红枣虽甜但能解毒，且还具有补气血的滋补效果。
另一方面，与前面提到的两种药料，枸杞属于中性。这也意味着通常食用枸杞不会影响体内的平衡。它们是甜的，因此对身体的作用与红枣相似。
最后但同样重要的是，与鸭肉相比，鸡肉在中医中被认为是一种温性蛋白质。
