I was supposed to prepare this fried chicken during the Chinese New Year cos' this is a dish suitable for the new year celebration but due to time constraint, it has been put off till now. In actual fact, this crispy chicken can either be roasted or deep fried. I had tried using the oven but I didn't like the end result cos' the chicken skin was not evenly roasted and didn't look nice.

| Crispy Roast Chicken [Using Oven Baked Method] |
Ingredients3 chicken whole legs with skin intact, fats removed1 tsp malt sugar + 15 ml white vinegar [mix together]1-2 tsp 5 spice powder + 1-2 tsp salt to taste [combine]
- Pour boiling water over the chicken pieces to enable the skin to stretch.
- Rub the malt sugar/vinegar mixture onto the skin part of the chicken pieces evenly.
- Rub the herb/salt mix onto the meat part of the chicken [if using whole chicken, it is the stomach cavity].
- Using a fan, dry the chicken skin for sometime until the skin dries up or sun dry if possible.
- Deep fry the chicken pieces in medium hot oil until it turns golden brown. To ensure the meat stays moist, using medium fire for deep frying. I use the inner pot of the Thermal cooker and fry over low heat.
- After the chicken is cooked, removed and cut into desired sizes. Serve with BBQ sauce.
