Salted Chicken

Salted Chicken is always our favourite especially my hubby. I must say he is lucky to have me lor. WHY? Because I also love to eat and love to cook and bake at the same time mah. Hahaha.... Actually hor, I am very proud of myself. Again WHY? The older folks always said - if a woman can go to work and go into the kitchen is the perfect one - this is how the saying goes in cantonese , "yeap tak chu fong chut tak theang thong". I am one of them lor. Ahem!!! *face read liau*. Loh Kong, I know you got read my blog one so this time, you better put a comment for me hor otherwise tonite you eat yourself liau. Yes, it's a MUST, ok? Hahaha........
Few weeks ago, we were in Ipoh and whenever we are there my hubby must go to this restaurant to buy the salted chicken. MUST one!!! The business here is damn good. The last time I bought is RM15/chicken and that is last year punya story lar. This year they charge RM16/chicken. Still reasonable. They claim theirs are kampung chicken. Kampung or not, I am not too sure. But at times, I do mine at home.
Salted Chicken - RM16/chicken

Business here is so so good......... See the boxes? You got to order and they will tell you what time to come back to pick your chicken. I waited 1/2 hour for mine.
Last time, they do everything in the kitchen and you can order and eat in front of the shop. Now no more liau. Business is damn good and they have invest into better equipment where they also used the front part of the restaurant to cook the chickenssssssssss...........
Those white stuff that you see is salt. The chicken are wrapped and cover with the salt until it's cook. The salt is hot wan har. Bawah ada fire,ok?
This is the shop name - Aun Kheng. See the telephone number there?
We bought 4 chickens. 1 for my sister inlaw, 1 for my neighbour and 2 for ourselves. My hubby can eat 1 whole chicken by himself.

Actually, you can also do your own but the salt will cause your wok spoil later due to the saltyness (is there such a word, I am not sure liau). Never mind, I decided to share with you how I made my without cooking the chicken using so much salt.

1 whole kampung chicken (buy the one approximately 600 - 700g) - clean

3 slices of dong guai (sorry, I don't have my dictionary here today and I do not know what it is called in English)

few slice of ginger (to take away the chicken smell)

2 tbsp sea salt

2 pcs of alum foil.

Optional :- 1/2 packet of herbs (pick the one that you used to boil chicken soup). If you buy from the chinese medical hall, tell them you wan RM2 only.

Method:

1. Soak the dong guai and the chicken soup herbs in the water. Drain it.

2. Stuff all the herbs inside the chicken.

3. Rub the chicken with some ginger. Then, take some salt and rub all over the chicken and also the inside too.

4. Marinate the chicken for 1 to 1 1/2 hour. Put about 2 slice of ginger beside the chicken and wrap with alum foil.

5. Steam for 35 minutes or till chicken is cook under medium heat. You might get a small bowl of the chicken soup. That is great to eat with rice.

Try it and share with me how it taste.

HAVE A NICE WEEKEND!!!
