    Notes:
    1) To address some of the comments on the color - we cooked the chicken twice!! The chicken in the thumbnail is our second attempt, in which we achieved a more thorough color on the skin. We spend quite a bit of time in the video explaining and comparing our first attempt with our second.
    2) There is supposed to be red in the bones when you cut into it - that’s one of the cues that it’s in the sweet spot of doneness.

      All of these recipes are authentic and worth the time and effort to make at home. I grew up working at a Chinese (Hunan, Szh, Cantonese) restaurant and they are all true and wonderful meals. No, I'm not a shill. I lived and worked eating all of these meals for many years. And have to pictures to prove it! I'm still working on my own recipe of Momma Wong's wonton noodle (yes, noodle not noodles) soup.

    Great recipe but one tip from my dad is to make sure that the chicken is DRY before you put it in the soy sauce. Pat it dry with a paper towel / let it air dry for a while before it goes in. That way you get an even dark coloring all around your chicken instead of blotchy colouring.

      I have seen pork belly being prepared this way, with some minor changes to the sauce (add garlic, cinnamon sticks and red chili to the ingredients listed here; cook pork with ginger in water for approx. 15 min., scoop off any fat and scum, then add other ingredients and simmer for another 30 to 45 min or until tender); reportedly a recipe from Sichuan.

      a home style Cantonese dinner for 4 usually consists of 3 dishes and 1 soup alongside rice (we call it 三餸一湯). For my family, we usually have one meat dish, one seafood/or another meat dish, and a vegetable/egg dish. Of course soup as well.

      This is more like experience as a cook, from what I can tell in the videos, he doesn't have passion for cooking rather it's all ingrained into him because he has been cooking for most of his life. He's very similar to most immigrant cantonese cooks, they are cooks because they have to, not because they want to.

    I followed this recipe but I only boiled the chicken in the soy for half the recommended time. Then I roasted it in the oven to finish and crisp the skin.
    Chopped it up and covered it with the sauce as per the recipe.
    AMAZING...I LOVED IT! ❤️🔥

    @MadeWithLau For the end result, the skin of the chicken looks patchy and not too dark, also looks like it's slathered in sauce. Versus the smaller one, the skin is very dark and golden in colour, and uniform - what difference in cooking did you do to achieve the smaller chicken's look?

    It's been quite some time since I last had this dish. I do remember my dad stressing that when turning it over half way through cooking, it's important to lift the chicken out of the sauce to drain and resubmerge. His theory was that the sauce that was in the cavity is at a lower temperature, so by draining it, mixes an reheats it evenly so the sauce would cook the chicken more evenly when resubmerged

  • @uzaho86

    Tip: If you dont have sugar cane you can melt some white sugar in a pan on low medium heat to melt and caramelise, stir regularly and you start to see it melt. Once you dont see and sugar crystals then you’re done. You can pour it on a baking tray to cool. Once its cool crack it into pieces, save some for another time too.

    • @maggiejetson7904
      @maggiejetson7904 2 роки тому +1

      The rock sugar they use is actually not a caramelized sugar, it is a less refined but still semi-refined sugar. Raw > brown > rock / yellow > white in that order. So, just substitute with a bit of brown and a bit of white if you have to. Won't taste identical but it is mainly the glazing effect rather than the taste that gets impacted.

      Meats will sometimes have a pink tone near the bone even when OVER cooked, esp near where veins etc were. As long as a meat thermometer registers 165F on the deepest part of meat, it's fine! (The clear juice is technically correct in my experience, but if you're worried about it, just test with a therm.)

    I find that using chicken purchased from American grocery store have different results vs chicken purchased from a poultry store or the more expensive free range natural chicken that are leaner. IMO, the fatter chicken are more plump and may contain saline solution and has a different taste. The leaner chicken tend to also take on better color from the sauce as indicated from the first head-on chicken in the video with the caramelized skin.
