Ingredients
Marinate the chicken
  • 1 small Kampong Chicken (About 1.1 kg) or any chicken parts (whole chicken leg x 2 or about 8 - 10 wings, etc)
  • 120 ml Chinese Shao Xing Wine (Hua Tiao)
  • 100 ml Oyster Sauce
  • 50 ml Sesame Oil
  • 10g Wolfberries
  • 5g Angelica Roots (当归)
Instructions
  1. Add all the ingredients in a large bowl and ensure that the chicken is well coated with the marinades.
  2. Spoon some of the sauce into the inside of the chicken and ensure that the inside of the chicken is also well coated with the sauce
  3. Cover with cling wrap and chill it in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or overnight (turn the chicken over to ensure the other side of the chicken will also be soaked in the marinade half way through the marinating process).
  4. Preheat the oven @ 250 degree Celsius 15 mins or airfryer @ 200 degree celsius for 5 mins before baking
Wrap the chicken
  1. Prepare the baking paper and make into a bag. Use stapler to seal the edges of the bag leaving the top open to put the chicken in;
  2. Put in the marinated chicken and seal the top of the bag.
  3. Double wrap with a layer of aluminium foil to ensure that the liquid will remain in the bag when cooking.
  4. Alternatively, you can also seal the chicken in the baking paper by tying the ends of the opening with cooking string (ensure the top opening is closed up or layer another piece of baking paper over it and tie with another cooking string). OR just put the chicken in any baking dish and cover with aluminium foil.
  5. Bake the chicken in oven at 250 degree Celsius for 1 hour or 20 to 30 mins in airfryer (air fryer might not be able to fit in whole chicken; more suitable for parts of chicken).
  6. To check if the chicken is cook, cut the thigh area and check if the meat is still pinkish. If yes, continue to cook for another 15 mins or until the thigh area is no longer pink.
