How to choose fresh ingredients
How to choose fresh chicken meat
- Choose chickens that are pinkish-red in color, with no blood clots or bruises on the skin. Avoid buying chickens with dark skin as they are chickens that died before being processed.
- Press on the chicken thigh with your hand to check if the chicken has been injected with water. If the chicken feels mushy, slippery, or deformed, do not buy it.
- When buying frozen chicken, choose to buy from reputable supermarkets or grocery stores to ensure quality and safety for use.
How to choose quality honey
- You should choose honey that has a bright yellow or orange color, with a uniform color.
- Try putting a drop of honey on a tissue; if it absorbs water and seeps into the paper, it’s honey mixed with water. Pure honey will form a hard drop on the surface of the paper.
- Put a drop of honey into a glass; if you see a round honey ball that sinks straight to the bottom, it is good honey.
- Avoid buying honey that has turned black, has bubbles on the surface, has a strong spicy smell, and tastes sour and bitter, as that indicates the honey has fermented, which is not good for health.
Where to buy tomato sauce and five-spice powder
- Tomato sauce, five-spice powder can be easily found at markets, supermarkets, the TasteVN supermarket system nationwide, or bought online at bachhoaxanh.com.
- When buying, be sure to check the packaging and expiration date to ensure the best quality!

Prepare the chicken
Buy pre-cleaned chicken thighs from the market and wash them with diluted salt water for about 5 – 10 minutes, then rinse with water about 2 – 3 times to remove dirt and let them drain.
How to clean and remove the smell of chicken:- To clean the chicken, first, you need to pluck out the hard, black feathers on the chicken’s skin, cut off the oil glands and fat, and wash away any blood clots inside the chicken.
- Then use crushed ginger and a little white wine to rub on the chicken for about 10 minutes and then rinse it off with water.
- Additionally, you can wash the chicken with diluted salt water and then rinse it under running water to remove stubborn dirt on the chicken’s surface.

Roasted Chicken
Heat a pan on the stove with 2 tablespoons of cooking oil over medium heat. When the oil is hot, add the skin side of the chicken thigh.
Every 2 – 3 minutes, turn the chicken to cook evenly. When the chicken skin is slightly golden, use a spoon to remove some of the chicken fat.
Add 1 teaspoon of minced garlic, 1 teaspoon of minced shallots, 1 teaspoon of five-spice powder, and drizzle the honey mixture over the chicken.
Reduce the heat to low and add 4 teaspoons of soy sauce, mixing well.
Cook for about 15 – 20 minutes, turning the chicken every 3 – 4 minutes until it’s evenly golden.
