The preparation method of roast chicken is as follows:

Prepare the ingredients chicken, onions, ginger, star anise, bay leaves, cinnamon, pepper, dark soy sauce, light soy sauce, sweet noodle sauce, soybean paste, salt , sugar, pepper, cooking wine, honey.

Method:

The first step is to buy a whole chicken from the market, ask the stall owner to clean the internal organs of the chicken, then put it in a basin and sprinkle half of it on the chicken. Take a bowl of flour and knead vigorously to let the flour absorb the fat and dirt on the surface of the chicken skin.

The second step is to rinse repeatedly with clean water to remove the flour and impurities from the chicken until the water in the basin becomes clear.

Step 3: Drain the washed chicken, add 3 spoons of cooking wine, 3 spoons of light soy sauce, 2 spoons of dark soy sauce, 1 spoon of salt, 2 spoons of sweet noodle sauce, 2 spoons of soybean paste, 1 spoon Sugar and 1 tablespoon pepper, then rub it repeatedly with your hands to spread the seasoning evenly on the chicken.

The fourth step is to add the prepared onion, ginger, star anise, bay leaves, cinnamon and other spices, and then massage it with your hands for a while to spread the spices and sauce evenly all over the chicken.

Step 5: Finally, stuff the extra onion, ginger and other spices in the pot into the chicken belly, then put it into a plastic bag, seal it, and put it in the refrigerator to marinate overnight.

Step 6: Place onions under the pressure cooker the next day, then pour the marinated chicken and sauce into the pot, cover the pot and simmer on the meat setting for 30 minutes. If you don't have a pressure cooker, you can also use a rice cooker, but the time should be extended to 45 to 50 minutes so that the chicken can be tender and tasty.

Step 7: When the time is up, just take out the whole chicken.

Tips

1. The most important thing about homemade roast chicken is that the chicken needs to be marinated to get the flavor, so the marinating time must be enough so that the sauce is completely smeared on the chicken. You can prick it with a toothpick to make it easier to taste.

2. Put the chicken in the pressure cooker. There is no need to add oil or water, because the chicken itself has moisture, which will make it more delicious. Remember to place onions on the bottom to prevent the bottom of the pot from burning.
