Christmas roasted whole chicken

Christmas roasted whole chicken

Overview

Christmas is celebrated very grandly in the West, with exquisite home decorations and delicious food. The big turkey is the most familiar Christmas delicacy to us. Foreign friends eat turkey on Christmas, just like the Chinese eat mooncakes on August 15th and dumplings on New Year's Day, so don't ask me why I eat turkey on Christmas. The turkey is very big and we are not used to it, so the juicy little hen becomes a delicacy on our Christmas table. This time, we used Orleans barbecue powder and dark soy sauce for coloring, five-spice powder for aroma, ginger white wine to remove the fishy smell, and salt and sugar for seasoning to increase the freshness. Before being baked, the whole chicken was brushed with two layers of maltose water inside and outside to make it sweet when tasted, which is more suitable for Cantonese tastes. The color of the roast is very attractive, and the taste is also great! Baking: Bai Cui PE5359WT lower layer, large temperature range up and down 200 degrees for 20 minutes, 180 degrees for 40 minutes, 160 degrees for 10 minutes Mold: Xuechu Golden 13-inch cake bread non-stick cooling rack Ingredients: 1 pullet, 2 corns Marinade: 20g minced ginger, 15g white wine, 15g dark soy sauce, 15g Orleans grilled wing powder, 20g allspice powder, 2g salt, 10g sugar, 5g water, 30g maltose water, appropriate amount of cooking oil

At the same time, prepare maltose water (just mix the maltose with an appropriate amount of hot water). With the last minute left, the food probe showed a core temperature of 176 degrees and an internal chicken temperature of 79 degrees, which is the temperature for a chicken to be cooked through.
