Categories     Whole Chicken

Time 1h10m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 1/2 kg chicken
1 piece gingerroot, size of small walnut
1 spring onion
1 cup water
1 cup light soy sauce
3 tablespoons dark soy sauce
1 tablespoon shaoxing wine or 1 tablespoon dry sherry
1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
1 tablespoon honey
1 teaspoon sesame oil
2 whole star anise
1 bay leaf
2 teaspoons brown sugar

Steps:

  • Wash chicken well and pat dry with paper towels.
  • Place ginger and spring onion in the cavity of the chicken.
  • Bring the sauce ingredients to the boil in a saucepan large enough to hold the chicken. Make sure honey and sugar dissolve completely.
  • Place the chicken in the saucepan with the sauce. Bring back to the boil, basting the sauce over the chicken, then reduce heat to a low simmer.
  • Simmer the chicken for 15 minutes; the sauce should be just bubbling. Turn the chicken over to cook for another 15 minutes, then return the chicken to its back again for a final 25-30 minutes of low simmering.
  • The chicken is cooked when the flesh on the drumstick has shrunk back from the bone.
  • Remove the chicken to cool to room temperatures, then chop into pieces, chinese style, for serving.
  • To serve, spoon about 3 tablespoons of the reheated sauce over the chicken and garnish attractively with fresh spring onion curls.

This chicken was a bit bland. I think I would add more spices next time.
