Main Ingredients- Chicken (1 whole)
- Salt (to taste)
- Green onion (1 stalk)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, thoroughly wash the chicken under running water. Pat it completely dry with paper towels – this is crucial for achieving crispy skin. Place the chicken skin-side down in a pan over medium heat. Sprinkle salt evenly over the skin and let it roast for about 5 minutes until golden brown.
Step 2
After about 5 minutes of roasting, you’ll see the chicken skin turn a delicious golden color. Flip the chicken over in the pan, and you’ll notice the other side has also cooked to a beautiful golden hue. Seeing this means your chicken is cooking perfectly!
Step 3
I personally found using two pans made the cooking process more efficient. Placing the chicken in one large pan and using another pan to gently press down on the top helps distribute heat evenly for a more delicious result. However, you can still achieve a wonderfully tasty roasted chicken using just one pan, so don’t worry!
Step 4
Now, it’s time to flip the chicken again. Position it so the other side is down in the pan. Cover the pan with a lid. Covering the pan helps to retain the chicken’s moisture, ensuring it stays tender and juicy as it cooks.
Step 5
Continue cooking with the lid on for about 10 minutes. During this time, the heat will penetrate the chicken thoroughly, cooking it to a tender consistency. You’ll start to hear a gentle sizzling sound and smell the wonderful aroma.
Step 6
After 10 minutes, lift the lid. You might notice a bit of rendered fat has accumulated. If it seems too dry, you can add a tiny drizzle of cooking oil at this stage. Now, add roughly chopped green onions, whole garlic cloves, and if you like, some chili peppers. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pan again, and let it steam for about 5 more minutes. This allows all the flavors to meld beautifully into the chicken.
Step 7
And there you have it! Your delicious roasted chicken is complete, boasting an appetizing appearance and mouthwatering aroma. Enjoy the perfect balance of crispy skin and juicy meat. Next time, I’ll definitely try making this with tender chicken thigh meat. Chicken breast can sometimes be a bit dry for my liking, making it harder to eat a lot. Feel free to choose your preferred cut!
