First of all, let's prepare the ingredients and tools needed to brine the chicken:

The pot of soup (any pot will do, there is a clay casserole is the best)

A fine mesh skeleton (that is, the grill is used to grill things net)

A pot lid (as long as it can cover your own home frying pan on the line)

Raw materials: frozen whole chicken

Rural Ground Chicken (and old hen)

Feed Chicken

Here I recommend the rural old hen (because the rural chicken flavor is more fragrant, the old hen and chewy) If you like to eat a little more tender taste, it is recommended to buy the age of the chicken a little younger. If you can't buy a local chicken, you can choose a chicken from the supermarket.

Spices: the amount here is the amount of a chicken, if you increase the chicken, please add their own amount.

Marinade for chicken: a handful of pepper (with the tip of four fingers to grab is a handful)

a handful of cumin

3 anise

(home conditions of the small partners, you can use a grinder to grind the marinade)

Simmering soup material: 3 anise, cinnamon 1, a few pieces of leaves, 3 ginger, 3 cao kou (Qianlixiang, pepper, dahurica) , white buckle, Chenpi, are a small handful of children)

Seasoning: 10 grams of five-spice powder, 10 grams of salt (alone), 10 grams of dark soy sauce, 30 grams of sugar (alone) 50 grams of sugar alone, chicken essence, monosodium glutamate (in moderation)

Production method: 1 kill the chicken after the guts (a special reminder, must be the whole chicken, do not chop open) the chicken disk, the claws tucked into the stomach, the chicken wings from the chicken mouth to come out.

2: ready 10 grams of salt and five spice powder, the chicken inside and outside the handful of once, and then put the marinade into the stomach, put a few slices of ginger.

Marinate for 3 hours

3: Start a pot of oil, put the ginger, stir fry the spices of the simmering soup. Don't fry them.

Add boiling water to boil and pour into the soup pot, add 10 grams of soy sauce. The soup pot put aside to boil. (This is the brine soup)

4: fried sugar color, 30 grams of sugar into the pot with a little bit of water over low heat and slowly simmer, simmering out of the big bubbles. Boiled sugar color into the marinade.

5: Put the marinated chicken into the boiling marinade soup, then add the right amount of salt to taste. Cook for 10 minutes (to set the chicken, so that it can also have the flavor of chicken broth) do not boil the chicken skin broken. Cooked and fished out to cool

6: pot boiling red. Fine mesh funnel into the surface of the pot. Pour 50 grams of sugar into the pot nothing to add. Wait for the sugar to burn for about 6 seconds and put the cooled chicken on top of the fine mesh funnel. Cover the pan with a lid. Turn down the heat for 20 seconds and turn off the heat, smother the chicken for 3 minutes and remove from the pan. (Smoked more flavor)

7: Put the smoked chicken into the marinade soup to boil, add chicken essence, MSG to taste. Turn off the fire. Soak for 3 hours and then fish out to enjoy.

The above is how to make smoked roasted chicken, which is tastier and has better flavor than traditional roasted chicken. It is not fishy or dry.
