4 SERVING

Ingredients:

2 lb. Yellow Chicken, cleaned
Marinade
3 tbsp. Salt
3 tbsp. Sand ginger powder
3 stalks Green onion
4 pieces Sand galangal
1 tsp. Salt
6 cup White sesame seed, enough to cover the entire chicken
Mixed Sauce
2 count Egg white
0.5 count Lemon juice, freshly squeezed of half a lemon
1 tbsp. Honey
1 tbsp. Corn Starch

Directions:

Step 1

Slice the galangal.

Step 2

Rub the entire chicken with salt and sand ginger powder.

Step 3

Stuff the green onion and galangal inside. Set aside to marinate for at least 6 hours.

Step 4

In a bowl, combine egg white, lemon juice, honey, and starch. Blend well, and set aside.

Step 5

Bring a large pot of water to boiling, and add a pinch of salt.

Step 6

Submerge the whole chicken in the boiling water for 20 seconds, remove from boiling water; put the whole chicken in a bucket of iced water to chill down.

Step 7

Brush entire chicken skin with the sauce prepared in step 3 to form a thick sticky coating to stick sesame seeds in the next step.

Step 8

In a flat baking sheet, cover entire chicken skin with sesame seeds

Step 9

Bake the chicken at 350°F / 180°C for 45 minutes. (please preheat the oven)

Step 10

heat up enough cooking oil to 400°F / 200°C, use a hook to hold the chicken over the heated oil, and take a long-handled large spoon pour hot oil to the chicken repeatedly for several times to make the sesame seeds tastier.

Step 11

Enjoy!

Final Notes

Marinate the whole chicken for at least 4-6 hours; the longer the marinating time is, the tastier the chicken is.
