Ga Lui Skewered Five Spice Chicken Recipes

Steps:

• Slice chicken.
• Combine soy sauce, wine, sesame oil, ginger, garlic, and 1 tsp of the 5 spice powder, and marinate chicken for at least 1 hour.
• Combine the remaining 5 spice powder with the flour and dredge the marinated chicken.
• Dip the dredged chicken in the eggs, then roll in the nuts.
• Heat the oil and cook chicken 3-4 minutes on each side.

Steps:

• Cut up chicken Chinese style (Cut off the end of the bone in the drumstick, cut each thigh in half, cut each wing into 2 segments with meat, and cut the breasts into strips transversely through the carcass with a heavy cleaver).
• Do not debone chicken.
• Combine the teriyaki sauce, five spice powder, cilantro, sesame oil, wine, and soy sauce.
• For added flavor, combine ingredients and marinate chicken for 12-24 hours before cooking.
• Add sauce and chicken to large saucepan of wok and bring to a simmer.
• Cook, covered, at least 30 minutes or until chicken cooked through.
• If time permits, cook for up to 1 hour on low heat- the longer cook time will get the chicken fall-off-the-bones tender.
• Serve warm with rice (Also makes great leftovers).

Steps:

• To make the marinade: In a medium bowl whisk together the marinade ingredients.
• Remove and discard the neck, giblets, wing tips, and any excess fat from the chicken. Rinse the chicken, inside and out, under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Place the chicken in a large, resealable plastic bag and pour in the marinade. Press the air out of the bag and seal tightly. Turn the bag to distribute the marinade, place the bag in a bowl, and refrigerate for 6 to 8 hours, turning the bag occasionally. Remove the chicken from the bag and discard the marinade.
• Truss the chicken with cotton string. Center the chicken lengthwise on the spit and adjust on the rotisserie. Let the chicken rotate over Indirect High heat until the juices run clear and the meat is no longer pink at the bone, 1 to 1-1/4 hours (check the chicken after 30 minutes; if the skin is browning too quickly, reduce the heat to Indirect Medium). When the chicken is fully cooked, turn off the rotisserie and, using barbecue mitts, remove the spit from the rotisserie and slide the hens from the spit onto a cutting board. Be careful not to splatter yourself with the hot juices. Allow the chicken to rest for a few minutes. Cut the chicken into serving pieces. Serve warm.
