Review Whole Chinese chop chicken with chilli ginger sauce - Quirky Cooking pg 113

[kmw]

Finally got to make my first recipe from the new Quirky Cooking book & decided to give the whole Chinese chicken a go seeing roast chicken was the plan for tonight.

Both DH & I loved it and found it a nice change to roast chicken. It's the first time I tried a whole chicken in TM & it cooked beautifully.

I didn't do the rice as when I went to get it from the pantry I realised I had none. So went with the veggies as noodles instead. If you were feeding a family you would need the rice but for 2 of us it was plenty.

The chilli ginger sauce rounds of the meal. I put a teaspoon of dried chilli flakes in (as I didn't have fresh) it the chilli flavour was mild & suited me.

We have enough chicken for DH lunch tomorrow, frozen 2 servings of the sauce, 600 ml stock left & veggies used in the stock ... so definitely get a lot out of it.

On the list to make again and great alternative to roast chicken.

This looks excellent.
Your veggies look great.
How did you prepare your carrot?
It looks delicate and nice.

Thanks everyone.  I forgot to say I had a small chicken hence why we ate most of it for dinner.

I did the carrots with a spiral slicer, sometimes I just peel them with a veggie peeler to get thin strips.

Thanks kmw I must get my spiral slicer out and use it!

Made this for dinner tonight and all enjoyed it. I have never steamed a chicken like this before - was lovely and very easy to do.  I loved the fact that I had a beautiful stock at the end as well ( I used it to make the Lemon Chicken soup - my favourite at the moment). My husband in particular loved the sauce. Will make again.
