Can you watch these and tell me how and the ingredients they use to make this chicken?  I like the uniform color of the chicken.  I don’t understand Taiwanese.

 

Seems they:

 

1. poach chicken dark color liquid, What's in the liquid (e.g. water, soy sauce, green onions, red vinegar, star anise, etc . . .)?  How many minutes poach?

2. Cool off chicken in cold water.

3. brush chicken with liquid, What's in the liquid (e.g. soy sauce, maltose, vinegar, etc . . .)?t 

4. roast in urn 200 celsius, then lower to what degree? How long (minutes)?

I think it will be very difficult, or may be impossible.

 

1. You got to start with true free-range chicken, not just cage-free chicken.

 

2. You got to have a pot of aged stock that has been stewed none stop for many years.

 

3. You have to have a wood fired stove that bakes and smokes.

 

Seasoning is not the whole idea.

I decided to make the hainanese chicken (poach), dry brine for a day, then crisp at 550 degree oven (with water in the pan no smoke!.).  Working great.

 

Thank you for the replies and previous links.
