Roast Chicken Chinese Style Recipes

Steps:

• Mix together soy sauce, lemon juice, honey, sesamme oil, dry mustard, ginger, garlic and ground black pepper to make the marinade.
• Place chicken in a bowl or zip lock plastic bag.
• Pour marinade over it.
• Marinate in refrigerator for at least one hour, I marinate it for at least 12 hours.
• Turn the chicken over in marinade occasionally.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Roast chicken on rack until chicken is dark brown and a fork can be inserted with ease, at least 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 hours.
• Bring marinade to full boil and use to baste chicken every 15 minutes.

Steps:

• Marinate chicken pieces in all the other ingredients for at least 2 hours, turning pieces now and again.
• Arrange in a single layer in a roasting dish and cook in a moderate oven (160 C / 325 F) for 30 minutes, turn pieces and cook a further 25 minutes.
• Serve hot or cold (cooking time includes marinating time).

Steps:

• In a large glass bowl, combine hoisin sauce, soy sauce, sugar, sherry, ginger, and mustard, mixing well. Add chicken, turn to coat, and marinate for at least 2 hours, turning often and allowing mixture to pour inside of chicken.
• After marinating, reserve marinade and place chicken in a roasting pan in a preheated 350 degree oven for 1-1/2 hours, until cooked. Remove from oven, and cut into serving pieces.
• Heat reserved marinate in a saucepan, and pour over chicken pieces. Garnish with chopped scallions.

Steps:

• Heat the peanut oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add the star anise and peppercorns; cook, stirring, until toasted, about 10 seconds. Add the cilantro, scallions and garlic and cook 30 seconds. Add the soy sauce mixture and simmer over medium heat until slightly reduced, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl and let cool, then add the chicken and toss. Cover and refrigerate 4 hours.
• Transfer the chicken to a rack set in a roasting pan (reserve the marinade). Refrigerate the chicken, uncovered, about 3 hours to dry out the skin.
• Position a rack in the upper third of the oven; preheat to 400 degrees F. Pour 1/4 inch of water and the reserved marinade into the roasting pan. Roast the chicken 20 minutes. Baste with the pan juices, then reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees F and continue roasting until the skin is glazed and a thermometer inserted into a breast registers 160 degrees F, 20 to 25 more minutes. Transfer the chicken (on the rack) to a board. Pour the pan juices into a skillet; simmer over medium-high heat until reduced by half, about 5 minutes. Drizzle over the chicken.
• Whisk the soy sauce, rice wine, hoisin sauce and honey in a bowl; set aside.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to moderate, 180°C Place a greased rack over a foil-lined baking pan.
• MARINADE: In a small bowl, combine sauces, wine, spice and garlic. Squeeze juice from orange into mixture, reserving skin and flesh.
• Pat chicken skin dry with paper towel. Stuff cavity with reserved orange quarters and cinnamon stick. Tie legs together with kitchen string. Place chicken, breast side up, on wire rack. Brush all over with half marinade mixture.
• Bake chicken for 1¼ hours, brushing occasionally with remaining marinade, until juices run clear when tested with a skewer. Cover chicken loosely with foil halfway through cooking to prevent skin from burning.
• Remove chicken from oven. Set aside, covered, to rest for 10 minutes. Cut Chinese-style (see tip). Serve with sliced oranges
• and sliced green onion.

Steps:

• Put most of the sliced ginger into a large roasting tin, then sit the chicken on top. Stuff the chicken with remaining ginger, the green ends from one bunch of onions, half of the garlic and a lemon half. Mix the five-spice, 2 tsp oil and seasoning, then rub all over the chicken. Nestle the other half of the garlic nearby, and drizzle all with 1 tsp oil. Loosely re-tie the legs. Set aside at room temperature for half an hour or so.
• Heat the oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5. Roast the chicken for 1 hr. Toss the lemon wedges and the spring onion ends into the pan juices, then roast for 30 mins more or until the meat is cooked at the thickest part of the thigh and the lemon wedges are sticky. Lift the chicken from the pan and set aside, uncovered, to rest.
• Spoon away any excess fat from the pan, then put the pan onto a medium heat and bring to a simmer. Add 1 tsp sugar, the soy, hoisin, juice from the remaining half lemon and any resting juices. Simmer for a few mins until it thickens slightly, then check the seasoning and add more sugar if needed - don't add any extra salt as the soy and hoisin will add plenty. Serve with the chicken, rice and vegetables.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Mix butter, garlic, thyme, rosemary, lemon zest, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper together in a bowl.
• Loosen skin on chicken breast; rub butter mixture between skin and breast meat. Press on the skin to distribute evenly. Rub oil, remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper all over; place lemon halves inside cavity. Set in a baking pan.
• Roast in the preheated oven, basting after 30 minutes, until chicken is no longer pink, about 1 hour. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, near the bone, should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Let rest before carving, about 15 minutes.

Steps:

• Black Bean Sauce: Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Peel and cut shallot into ¼-inch slices. Add to a medium saucepan with 1 tablespoon oil. Sauté over low heat until shallot softens and becomes translucent, 2-3 minutes. Add white and Shaoxing wines, bring to a simmer, and reduce the liquids by about half, 6-8 minutes. Add fermented black beans, garlic cloves, and chicken stock. Bring to a simmer and reduce the liquid by about half, 20-25 minutes. Meanwhile, start the Potato-Parsnip Mash.
• Potato-Parsnip Mash: Peel and dice the potatoes and parsnip into uniform 1-inch cubes. Place in a large saucepan. Add water and a few pinches of salt, then bring to a boil over high heat, 6-8 minutes. Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, gently heat the heavy cream over low heat, then set aside.
• Chicken: Heat an ovenproof nonstick skillet over high heat. Season chicken breasts liberally with salt and pepper on both sides. Add 1 tablespoon oil to the pan and swirl around to coat the bottom. When oil is smoking, add breasts skin side down; cook until skin is golden brown, 2-3 minutes. Then flip the breasts so they're skin side up and place skillet in the oven until chicken cooks through, 8-10 minutes.
• Check potatoes and parsnips for doneness by removing one of each from the water with tongs; they should feel soft when gently squeezed. Drain well and place back into the pot; add the butter. Mash the potatoes and parsnips until they are coarsely crushed and coated with melted butter. Add about ¾ of the warmed cream and continue mashing until creamy; add more cream as needed. Season to taste with salt. Set aside.
• When the Black Bean Sauce has reduced to about half, strain it into a bowl. Reserve the garlic cloves and discard the rest of the solids. Place the garlic cloves and the sauce into a blender and purée, starting on low speed; if the sauce is very hot, remove the cap or stopper on top of the blender so steam can escape. Turn the speed to high until completely puréed, about 1 minute. Pour back into the saucepan and keep warm over low heat. (Makes 1 quart. Black Bean Sauce can be made ahead and refrigerated for 2-3 days, or frozen for up to 3 months.)
• After chicken has been in the oven for 8-10 minutes, check for doneness. It should feel firm to the touch or register 160 F at its center. (Note: Safe internal temperature for cooked chicken is 165 F; however, chicken will continue cooking once it's out of the oven.) Remove chicken to a plate to rest. Chinese Butter Sauce: Place the skillet with drippings over low heat and add about 1 cup of Black Bean Sauce. Turn the heat to high and use a wooden spoon to scrape up the fond (the roasted bits stuck on the bottom of the pan). When the sauce has simmered and slightly reduced, taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Add 1 pat of butter; swirl the pan to melt and emulsify. Repeat with remaining 2 pats of butter; the sauce should be velvety smooth.
• Assembly: Place a large spoonful of Potato-Parsnip Mash on a plate. Nestle a chicken breast on top, and spoon plenty of Chinese Butter Sauce around the sides. (Avoid pouring sauce directly on the chicken skin, so it can remain crisp.) Finely slice the light green part of the scallion on a bias and scatter over chicken. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Rub chicken with 1/4 c soy sauce, stand for 15 minutes.
• Brown in oil.
• Add sherry, ginger root and cook 20-30 minutes.
• Add mushrooms during last 5 minutes.
• Remove chicken, add celery and onions.
• Cook 1-2 minutes.
• Mix water, cornstarch, sugar and soy add to pan.
• Pour over chicken.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil, and brush the foil with melted butter.
• In a medium bowl, mix together the vinegar, water, mayonnaise, horseradish, sugar, salt and pepper until well blended. Coat each piece of chicken heavily with the sauce, and place onto the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake, uncovered, for about 45 minutes in the preheated oven. Baste occasionally with remaining sauce. Chicken is done when the juices run clear, and the meat is no longer pink. Serve with rice or noodles.

Steps:

• In a blender purée the garlic and the gingerroot with the soy sauce, the vinegar, the honey, the aniseed, and the salt. In a resealable plastic bag combine the marinade with the chicken thighs and let the chicken marinate at room temperature for 15 minutes. Arrange the chicken on the rack of a foil-lined broiler pan, discarding the marinade, and roast it in the middle of a preheated 425°F. oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until it is cooked through.
