Peking-inspired Roast Chicken

The dish of ‘Peking Duck’ is extremely expensive at the Chinese restaurants. It’s a nice dish but I always tend to think that I can cook chicken like this, and it would be yummy and a lot cheaper.

Cooking instructions

* Step 1

Place the Whole Chicken on a cutting board, breast-side-down. From the cavity opening up to the neck, cut down each side of the back bone with a pair of kitchen scissors. Discard the backbone. Sprinkle Salt over both sides.

* Step 2

Make the marinade by mixing all ingredients in a large bowl, add chicken and coat both sides with marinade, then let marinate for at least 1 hours, turning over occasionally.

* Step 3

Mix all the sauce ingredients in a small bowl. You will brush this sauce over the chicken later. Preheat oven to 200℃.

* Step 4

Using paper towel, pat dry chicken skins. Place on a wire rack in a roasting pan and pour 500 ml water in the pan to prevent the drippings burning. It make a big difference in the cleaning up.

* Step 5

Roast for 30 minutes or until skin is starting to brown. Reduce heat to 180℃. Keep roasting, brushing the sauce every 10 minutes, for a further 40 minutes or until skin is browned and cooked though.
