  3. Use a steel skewer or a meat softener to puncture the inside of the chicken; use a sprayer to fill the chicken with rice wine and spray the rice wine into the inside (5-8 times) and outside of the chicken (spray the chicken evenly); stir the salt and black pepper together, remember to apply the inside and outside evenly and marinate; if you have enough time to prepare, it is best to wrap it in a plastic bag and put it in the refrigerator to keep it fresh for more than 4 hours. The flavor will be better overnight (put it in the fresh-keeping layer of the refrigerator, do not put it in the freezer layer).

  4. Insert the marinated chicken into the multi-purpose grill with a stainless steel skewer from the intersection of the chicken's neck and chicken breast. Make sure the chicken is placed on the multi-purpose grill evenly, with the tips of the chicken wings pointing toward the inside so that the chicken wings will not burn. Then stuff the belly of the chicken with chopped green onions. Finally, place a small porcelain bowl on the stainless steel plate, put a little water in the small bowl, and add oil to the bottom of the chicken.

When the time is up, use the hook to open the pot lid directly to check whether the chicken is semi-golden. If not, cover the pot and bake for about 5-10 minutes

  10. First, remove the 2 chicken legs. When removing the chicken legs, peel them from the inside of the chicken, not from the back, so that the skin of the chicken legs will not be torn. Next, remove the chicken wings, then remove the entire chicken neck. Finally, take the entire chicken body out of the multi-purpose grill. Separate the skin first, then slowly tear the chicken body meat into small pieces, put it on a plate, sprinkle with pepper salt or salt and pepper powder, and serve. The soup can be left to cook soup or used as a sauce for grilled abalone or grilled oysters
