    Red Cooked Tangerine Chicken


    Source of Recipe


    Internet

    List of Ingredients





    3 1/2 lb Frying chicken (or chicken parts)
    1 lg Piece dried orange or tangerine peel
    1/3 c Dry sherry
    1/2 c Peanut oil
    3 1/2 c Boiling water
    Cornstarch paste
    Flower roll for garnish
    Parsley or watercress for garnish

    Sauce:


    3 lg Slices ginger root
    3 tb Hoisin sauce
    2 tb Dark soy sauce
    3 Whole star anise
    2 lg Lumps rock sugar
    1 ts 5-spice powder
    3 Green onions, quartered



    Rinse and soak dried peel in sherry for 1 hour. Remove chicken neck, heart, gizzard and liver (use in stock pot). Wash chicken and chop into large chunks. Mix sauce ingredients.
    Browning: Add peanut oil to moderately hot wok. When oil is hot, brown chicken pieces; remove pieces from oil with strainer and drain over bowl.

    Slow-cooking: Remove all oil from wok; heat to moderate. Add peel, sherry, and sauce (remixed first); add boiling water. Bring to simmer. Add chicken pieces. Cover and simmer for 1 hour or until chicken is tender but still adhering to bones. When tender, remove pieces from sauce. Transfer 1 cup of sauce, less the spices, to a saucepan; thicken with cornstarch paste to a light gravy.

    Arrange chicken pieces on large serving platter to resemble the shape of a chicken. Place bunch of parsley or watercress at the tail, a flower roll at the head with a piece of star anise for a beak. Pour sauce over chicken when ready to serve.
