Ingredients:
3 lb fryer
6 lb rock salt
1 parchment paper
1/4 cup peanut oil
1 tsp salt
3 tbsp dark soy sauce
1 whole star anise
2 tbsp sherry
1 tbsp fresh ginger, minced
1 tbsp garlic, minced
2 green onions, chopped
Instructions:
Preparation: Wash chicken & pat dry. Swab cavity with sherry; stuff
with ginger, garlic & green onions; seal with clip or string. Rub
outside of chicken with dark soy sauce; allow to stand until soy
sauce is absorbed. Wrap chicken in 3 layers of parchment paper, tie
with string, coat outer layer with peanut oil.
Baking: In wok or large pot, heat rock salt, stirring periodically,
until it begins to brown. Place wrapped chicken in rock salt,
spooning some salt around sides & over top. Cook for about 10
minutes. Turn over chicken, cover with rock salt (but always have at
least 2" layer of salt under chicken) & cook for another 10 minutes.
This cooking time will give a moist, slightly underdone chicken.
Increase baking time to 15 minutes on each side, for well done.
Remove chicken from salt; strip off paper; allow to stand for 15
minutes to cool & congeal juices. Cut in half, then into bite-size
pieces. Serve with soy dip.

Chicken is ideal
for weight loss
and dieting
Healthy eating is far better than strict dieting, and weight loss achieved by a change of lifestyle lasts far longer than 'faddy' diets that are difficult to adopt for long periods.
Cooking more low fat chicken can enable you to lose weight gradually as part of a a controlled and healthy diet.
