1 chicken
Ingredients:
- 1 whole chicken (cleaned and cavity emptied)
- 1 tbsp 中文 oil
- 2 cloves
- 3 pcs star anise
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 4 garlic cloves with skin (smashed)
- 5 cm ginger (sliced into fine strips)
- 1 bunch spring onion (sliced into fine strips)
- 1L - 2L chicken stock
- 250 ml light soy sauce
- 110 g brown sugar
- 4 pcs orange or mandarin peel
Instructions:
1. Sauté
spices
● Heat
up a pan with cooking oil over medium-low heat. Toss in the cloves,
star anise, cinnamon stick, garlic and ginger.
● Sauté
until fragrant.
2. Braise
chicken
● In
a pot, pour in the chicken stock, light soy sauce, brown sugar, orange peel,
and soup bag. Increase the heat, cover, and bring to a slow boil.
● Lower
the chicken slowly into the pot breast side up. Make sure any air
pockets in the cavity fill up completely with liquid. The chicken
should be entirely submerged at this point. If you wish, you can
adjust the colour of the solution by adding more soy sauce.
● Place
over high heat and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and cook,
turning the chicken occasionally for 1 hour or until chicken is cooked through
and very tender.
● Use
the sauce from the pot to occasionally baste the chicken and keep the skin
moist as it cools.
● Add
spring onions and fry for 1 minute.
● Dish
out and transfer all the spices into a soup bag, along with the spring onions
