TEA SMOKED CHICKEN
This is smoked in a wok. Between the curing, steaming and smoking, you end up with a tasty chicken that is very moist and has a lovely firm texture. I usually find the breast meat too dry on a roast chicken, but not on this one! Good hot or cold. Prep time does not include marinating time.

Steps:
- Toast the salt and peppercorns together in a skillet over a low flame until it starts to smoke.
- Let cool and grind in a mortar and pestle.
- Rub the mixture all over the chicken, inside and out.
- Refrigerate overnight.
- Steam the chicken in a large pot for about 45 minutes, until juices run clear when thigh is pricked. I use one of those collapsible steamer inserts in a soup pot. Do save the resulting broth, it's quite flavorful.
- Line a wok and its lid with heavy-duty foil.
- Combine the tea and sugar in the bottom of the wok and place a rack over the mixture.
- Heat the wok until the mixture begins to smoke.
- Pat the chicken dry and place on the rack.
- Cover the wok tightly and smoke the chicken for about 15 minutes.
- Remove from the heat and let the covered wok stand for another 30 minutes.
- Cut the chicken into serving pieces and brush with the sesame oil.
