PEKING STYLE CHICKEN



Peking Style Chicken image

This is a dish we were served one night on one of the Princess Cruise ships. Tender, with a wonderful flavour. Of course when they served it, it was "dressed to the nines". When I make it at home, I serve it with rice and a vegetable. ;) This is also great served in a wrap. NOTE: For those thinking of substituting Splenda for the sugar, please read the review posted by Oolala on Feb 11/09. Thanks Oolala for the heads up.

ROASTED PEKING CHICKEN



Roasted Peking Chicken image

Provided by Jacques Pepin

Categories     dinner, main course

Time 1h30m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 chicken (3 1/2 to 4 pounds), preferably free-range
1 1/2 teaspoons honey
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon Tabasco sauce

Steps:

  • Place a pot containing 3 quarts of water over high heat. When the water comes to a boil, lower the chicken into the water (it should be completely immersed). Cook the chicken for about a total of 10 minutes. (It will take about 5 minutes for the water to return to the boil, and the chicken should cook for an additional 4 or 5 minutes at a gentle boil.)
  • Drain the chicken, and place it on a rack, uncovered, in the refrigerator for 5 to 6 hours, or overnight. The skin should be somewhat dry at this point. (The drier the skin, the crisper it will be after cooking.)
  • At cooking time, combine the honey, soy sauce and Tabasco sauce in a small bowl, and brush the mixture on all sides of the chicken. Place the chicken, breast side up, on a wire rack in a shallow roasting pan, and roast it in a 425-degree oven for 20 minutes, or until nicely browned on top.
  • Turn the chicken over (breast side down), return it to the rack, and place the pan back in the oven for 30 minutes. Turn the chicken over again, and cook it, breast side up, for an additional 10 minutes, for a total cooking time of 1 hour.
  • Let the chicken stand at room temperature for 10 minutes before carving and serving

  • Use a good quality soy sauce: This is one of the key ingredients in Peking chicken, so make sure you use a brand that you trust.
  • Simmer the chicken in the sauce for at least 30 minutes: This will allow the flavors to develop and the chicken to become tender.
  • Serve the chicken with rice or noodles: This is a traditional way to serve Peking chicken.
