  Prepare the chicken

  To eliminate the unpleasant smell of the chicken, use a knife to remove the skin, rinse with water, and then rub salt and crushed ginger evenly on the meat and rinse again with clean water.

  How to clean chicken without the smell

  • In addition to the above method, you can soak the chicken in wine or vinegar for a more effective smell removal.
  • Another method instead of rubbing the chicken with crushed ginger, you can substitute with lemon and also rub similarly for about 10 minutes and then rinse with clean water.

  Stir-fry and roast the chicken

  Add 2 tablespoons of cooking oil to the pan, when the oil is hot, add the marinated chicken, pouring in all the marinade to cook over high heat. When the sauce thickens, the chicken will begin to absorb the seasoning, continuously turn the chicken to ensure it cooks evenly and absorbs the flavors.

  When the sauce becomes thick, add 1 cup of water and bring to a boil, until the sauce thickens again, scoop out some of the sauce for dipping, and use the remaining sauce to brush over the chicken while roasting.

  To stabilize the oven temperature, preheat the oven for 10 minutes at 200 degrees Celsius. Place the chicken in the oven and roast at 250 degrees Celsius for 5 minutes. When you notice the chicken starting to dry out, take it out and brush more sauce on, continue roasting the chicken for another 2 minutes until it is cooked through.
