Hong Kong style oven roast chicken

One of my friend actually inspired me to this style. He's originally from Hong Kong who also works as a sous chef here in Dublin, he specializes in a variety Asian fusion cuisines specially Chinese.

I just added a few ingredients to his recipe to make if more Pinoy tasting.

Let's go!



Hong Kong style rub: Chinese 5 spice, ground black pepper, dried rosemary, dried thymes, salt and MSG.

Rub all over the bird, also put around 2 tbsp inside the cavity.

Stuff the cavity with green onions and dried bay leaves.

Let dry for a couple of hours.

Salad: Red onions, red bell pepper, spinach, salt, pepper, vinegar and olive oil.

Pre heat oven to 200C and cook for 50 minutes. This is a 1.6kg chicken. Adjust accordingly.

I used a convection oven for this.

Rest for 10 minutes.

Soft and juicy!

Carve according to preference.

Cut out the legs, thighs and wings. Cut the the breasts and chop into bite sized pieces.



Serve with our spinach salad and freshly boiled rice.
