Classic Savory Chicken

My Little Story...

I grew up being so exposed with the famous Classic Savory Chicken. My Dad would always bring home 1 whole Chicken for the Family and at times, he would often wake us up in the middle of the night just for midnight snacking...  I have never thought that this Classic Flavorful Chicken will be made from the most basic and easiest ingredients stapled from your kitchen!

Here's my Version of The Famous Chicken originted from Escolta, Manila!

Ingredients:

only "SILVER SWAN" Soy Sauce

Water

Star Anise

Ground Black Pepper

1/2 tsp Oil 

All purpose Flour

1 Whole Chicken/or any Special Part

1. Boil and mix Soy Sauce, black pepper, water, 1/2 tsp Oil, star anise (About 8 pcs.) then Cool. (this should make about 2 cups yield, we will be using this for marinade, brushing/basting and the final gravy!)

2. Clean your chicken well, pat dry using kitchen tissue, marinade chicken with prepared sauce over night. 

3. Preheat your oven to 325 F.

4. Roast your chicken for about 45 minutes or so, or until the skin turns dark golden brown. You can also use a toaster for smaller servings with same amount of cooking time. 

5. Using the reserved marinade, mix about 1/2 tsp of flour for every 1 cup of Sauce, boil then cool. We want to achieve the "NOT SO THICK" gravy from Savory Chicken. Perhaps, you may lessen or add a little more amount of flour depending on the thickness while you are cooking you gravy. 

TIPS:

Brush your chicken with prepared sauce every 8-10mins. This will make the Chicken very juicy and tender. 

Serve and Enjoy!

SORRY AGAIN... I AM NOT USED TO MEASURE MY INGREDIENTS! BUT I HOPE THIS STILL HELPS!
