" EVIL" CHICKEN
I modified this recipe from a tea smoked chicken recipe in one of my cookbooks. My husband dubbed it "evil" chicken because he couldn't stop eating it. I find it turns out best when you use a whole chicken. However you can substitute boneless breasts. I serve with steamed rice and broccoli.

Steps:
- Combine sherry, soy sauce, brown sugar, ginger, garlic, crushed peppercorns, onion, tea leaves, orange peel and juice from orange in a bowl and mix well.
- Pour over chicken and marinade in refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
- If using a whole chicken bake at 350 for 1 1/2 to 2 hours or until chicken is done.
- If using boneless breasts I prefer to cook it in a slow cooker on low for at least 2 hours but you can also bake at 350 for at least 45 minutes or until chicken is done.
- Use remaining marinade from roasting pan or slow cooker as a gravy.
- (You may need to thicken).
Tips:
- Choose the Freshest Chicken Possible: Using fresh, high-quality chicken is crucial for achieving the best flavor and texture in your dish. Look for chicken that is plump and has a slightly pink color, with no signs of bruising or discoloration.
- Properly Season Your Chicken: Seasoning your chicken well is key to enhancing its flavor. Use a combination of herbs, spices, and aromatics to create a flavorful rub or marinade. Experiment with different seasonings to find your preferred flavor profile.
- Pay Attention to Cooking Temperatures: Cooking your chicken to the correct internal temperature is essential for ensuring its safety and juiciness. Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the chicken has reached an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) for whole chicken and 175°F (80°C) for ground chicken or poultry.
- Don't Overcook Your Chicken: Overcooking can dry out your chicken and make it tough. Be careful not to leave it on the heat for too long. If you're unsure if the chicken is done, use a meat thermometer to check its internal temperature.
- Let Your Chicken Rest Before Serving: Allowing your chicken to rest for a few minutes before serving helps the juices redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more flavorful and tender dish.
