Succulent Tea-Smoked Salt-Baked Chicken Wrapped in Lotus Leaves
Beautifully golden brown with delicate complex flavour, this juicy and tender chicken is smoked using fragrant Pu-Erh tea leaves in a Le Creuset pan or a wok (you don’t need to own a smoker). The secret to making a delicious tea-smoked chicken begins with a rich and savory marinate that infuses the chicken with heaps of flavours, beautiful colour and amazing smell. Next, the chicken is rubbed with classic sand ginger powder (sha jiang fen) along with other spices before wrapped in lotus leaves and roasted in the oven.

It is a 3 steps process, however, the effort is well worth as the true essence of chicken really shines and comes out in this dish, without using any MSG. Perfect for dinner party, the techniques work equally well with duck, duck breasts or chicken pieces. Learn to cook this stunning and delicious chicken for your family, chicken will not taste the same after this!
