Preparation

Step 1

Mix the Tang Gui 当归 (Angelica Sinensis) powder together with salt.
Rub the powder all over the chicken, including under the skin and in the cavity.
Place all ingredients and chicken in a casserole and with a lid.
Cover or wrap with foil if you are using just a dish.
Roast for 1 1/2 hours at 190C.
Check for doneness; juices would run clear when the thickest part of the thigh is pierced with a metal skewer.
Remove the lid or foil, season with salt if need.
Baste the chicken with the soup sauce and continue to roast without covering the chicken for another 15 minutes to brown the skin.
Serve.
