Add the roughly chopped Napa cabbage (¾ of the head), sliced onions, roughly chopped carrots, apple, and garlic cloves to the bottom of a large, heavy-bottomed soup pot.
Nestle the whole chicken on top of the veggies and apple. Season generously with salt and pepper.
Optional but recommended: Add at least 2 cups of water, and keep an eye on the bottom of the pot - it may start to burn if the veggies don't release enough liquid.
Place the lid on and cook on low heat for 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the chicken is completely tender and falling off the bone.
Note: Keep the heat low and the lid on. If you lift the lid partway through and it looks dry, add a splash more water.
Once the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are soft and jammy, carefully remove the chicken. Shred the meat off the bone and return it to the pot. Taste and adjust seasoning. Serve hot with a side of rice and enjoy.
