Tea Smoked Chicken 茶香鷄


This is really just a chicken poached in "master" sauce. The sauce is made up of dark and light soy sauce 生抽 老抽, rock sugar 冰糖, ginger 姜, sha jiang 沙姜, star anise 八角, sichuan peppercorns 花椒, cloves 丁香, cassia's bark 桂皮, Amomum tsaoko 草果, rose liquor 玫瑰露 and water. Let that cook for an hour or so, let sit over night, and then poach the chicken in it until just cooked. Wait for it to cool before smoking it for 10 minutes over jasmine tea and brown sugar.
