Ingredients
- 1.5 kg Kee Song Organic Chicken
- 5 kg coarse salt
- 3 slices dang gui
- 4 slices ginger
- 2 pieces white parchment paper
Seasoning Ingredients
- 2 tbsp rose wine / chinese cooking wine
- 1½ tbsp Sand ginger powder
- ½ tbsp white pepper powder
- 1 tsp salt
Instructions
Step 1: Marinate the chicken and leave it to dry overnight
- Clean the chicken and pat dry with paper towels.
- Spread rose wine over chicken and apply some in the cavity.
- Combine seasoning ingredients together and rub the mixture over the chicken and in the cavity.
- Sit the chicken upright for the excess liquid to drip. Leave the chicken uncovered and allow it to marinate overnight in the fridge.
Step 2: Insert herbs into the cavity and prepare to cook the dish
- Remove the chicken from the fridge, set aside for 2 hours before cooking.
- Insert the ginger and dang gui slices into the cavity, seal it with a satay stick.
- Brush the chicken skin with oil and tie up the drumstick. Set aside.
- Lay 2 large pieces of parchment paper and coat the top layer with oil. Place the chicken on and wrap it securely.
- Fry the coarse salt in a wok for 30-40 minutes. Cover the pan to heat up the salt.
- Transfer 50% of the salt into a big bowl. Make a well in the centre and place the wrapped chicken in. Cover the wrapped chicken completely with salt.
- Leave the chicken to cook. Leave the chicken to cook on moderate heat and remove.
- Reheat the salt until it's hot and stir constantly to ensure that the salt is heated evenly.
- Place the chicken back into the pan the other side down. Cover completely with salt and cook for another 20-25 minutes over low heat.
Step 3: Ready to serve
- Remove parchment paper wrapping from chicken and discard the stuffing. Serve hot.
