The cooking procedure is straightforward too. If you&rsquo;re looking for a crowd-pleasing dish for dinner or festival occasions, read on to learn all the tips and tricks.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-cc5da30fef0165e4f669be2fb9a3e3ae\" style=\"color:#365e5e\" id=\"spatchcock-the-chicken\"><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#4d8682\" class=\"has-inline-color\">Spatchcock the chicken<\/mark><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When preparing a whole chicken for roasting, I prefer spatchcocking, aka butterflying. This method involves removing the backbone so that the chicken can be laid completely flat. The benefit is obvious: It takes less time to cook and the meat can be cooked more evenly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"1500\" src=\"https:\/\/redhousespice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/butterflying-chicken.jpg\" alt=\"A photo collage of cutting off the backbone of a chicken\" class=\"wp-image-17494\" srcset=\"https:\/\/redhousespice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/butterflying-chicken.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/redhousespice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/butterflying-chicken-400x600.jpg 400w, https:\/\/redhousespice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/butterflying-chicken-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/redhousespice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/butterflying-chicken-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/redhousespice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/butterflying-chicken-768x1152.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Here is how you do it:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Place the chicken over a large tray with the breasts down and the legs towards you.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Find its backbone in the middle. Use kitchen scissors\/shears to cut along both sides of the backbone, separating it from the ribs (You may reserve the backbone for making chicken stock).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Flip over the chicken so that the breasts are facing up. Use the palm of your hand to firmly push the middle of the chicken until it&rsquo;s flattened completely.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"season-and-rest\"><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#4d8682\" class=\"has-inline-color\">Season and rest<\/mark><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To make your five spice chicken as tasty as it can be, it&rsquo;s essential to season it ahead of cooking. This allows the flavour to penetrate the flesh instead of having it just on the surface, like how you&rsquo;d marinate <a href=\"https:\/\/redhousespice.com\/peking-duck\/\">Peking Duck<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/redhousespice.com\/aromatic-crispy-duck\/\">Aromatic Crispy Duck<\/a> for the optimal taste. Here are the ingredients and how to apply them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/redhousespice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/seasonings-for-five-spice-chicken-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"spices and sauces for seasoning five spice chicken\" class=\"wp-image-17498\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>For a chicken that weighs 1.8 kg\/4 lbs, you&rsquo;ll need:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>2 teaspoons <strong>salt<\/strong>. Fine grain salt is preferable as it spreads more evenly.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>&frac34; teaspoon <strong>five spice powder<\/strong>. I have a separate post on <a href=\"https:\/\/redhousespice.com\/five-spice-powder\">how to make it from scratch<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>&frac14; teaspoon <strong>garlic powder<\/strong>. It&rsquo;s also known as garlic granule.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>&frac14; teaspoon <strong>ground white pepper<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>1 teaspoon <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/redhousespice.com\/chinese-soy-sauce-rice-pilaf\/\">dark soy sauce<\/a><\/strong>. You may replace it with light soy sauce (or regular soy sauce), but the dark version is better at browning.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>1 teaspoon <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/redhousespice.com\/shaoxing-rice-wine\/\">Shaoxing rice wine<\/a><\/strong>. Please feel free to skip it if you don&rsquo;t want to include alcohol in the dish.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>In two small bowls, mix the dry ingredients (salt, five spice, garlic powder and white pepper) and the wet ingredients (soy sauce, Shaoxing wine) separately. The honey in the image above is for brushing onto the chicken while roasting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"1500\" src=\"https:\/\/redhousespice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/marinating-chicken-process.jpg\" alt=\"a collage of seasoning a whole chicken\" class=\"wp-image-17496\" srcset=\"https:\/\/redhousespice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/marinating-chicken-process.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/redhousespice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/marinating-chicken-process-400x600.jpg 400w, https:\/\/redhousespice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/marinating-chicken-process-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/redhousespice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/marinating-chicken-process-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/redhousespice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/marinating-chicken-process-768x1152.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>First, lay the butterflied chicken with the skin facing down. Rub half of the dry mix over the cavity side. Massage well to help it to stay on.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Flip the chicken over. Spread the wet mix evenly over the entire skin. Then rub the rest of the dry mix over.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>After that, store the chicken in the fridge. The ideal resting time is between 12 to 24 hours. You don&rsquo;t need to cover the chicken. The dry environment in the fridge will help to slightly dry out the skin thus helping to crisp up while roasting.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"roast-in-four-stages\"><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#4d8682\" class=\"has-inline-color\">Roast in four stages<\/mark><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Before I explain the process, here are some tips for achieving the best result:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Remember to take the chicken out of the fridge at least one hour before cooking. This allows it to come back to room temperature.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Place chicken, skin side up, over a wire rack that fits into a roasting tray. This helps the hot air to circulate underneath.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Pour some water into the tray (lower than the rack). This way rich drippings from the meat won&rsquo;t get burnt. Remember to top up when necessary while cooking. Afterwards, you may use the liquid to make a flavourful gravy (optional).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Use a fan-assisted oven (aka convection oven) if available. It produces better air circulation than a conventional oven thus cooking meat quicker and more evenly.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Adjust the oven temperature a couple of times. The high temperature in the beginning and at the end will help lock in the moisture and brown the skin.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Brush honey over the skin at the end of the process. It adds an appetising shine to the skin, as well as a nice sweet taste to complement the savoury flavour.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"1500\" src=\"https:\/\/redhousespice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/baking-chicken-process.jpg\" alt=\"a photo collage of roasting and brushing honey over a chicken\" class=\"wp-image-17501\" srcset=\"https:\/\/redhousespice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/baking-chicken-process.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/redhousespice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/baking-chicken-process-400x600.jpg 400w, https:\/\/redhousespice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/baking-chicken-process-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/redhousespice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/baking-chicken-process-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/redhousespice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/baking-chicken-process-768x1152.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Stage 1: <\/strong>Preheat the oven properly before roasting: fan-assisted oven at 390F&deg;\/200C&deg;, or conventional oven at 425F&deg;\/220C&deg;. Place the roasting tray on the middle rack of the oven. Cook for 15 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Stage 2<\/strong>: Turn the oven down to 320F&deg;\/160C&deg; (or 350F&deg;\/180C&deg; if using a conventional oven). Continue cooking for 20 minutes (Check the water level in the tray and top up if necessary).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Stage 3<\/strong>: Mix 1 tablespoon of honey with &frac12; teaspoon of dark soy sauce. Take out the chicken and brush a thin layer of the mixture over the skin. Put back into the oven and cook for 5 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Stage 4<\/strong>: Turn the heat up to 390F&deg;\/200C&deg; (or 425F&deg;\/220C&deg; for a conventional oven). Take out the chicken and brush a second time. Leave to roast for a further 5 minutes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/redhousespice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/chinese-five-spice-chicken-3-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"roast chicken on a chopping board\" class=\"wp-image-17502\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"check-the-doneness\"><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#4d8682\" class=\"has-inline-color\">Check the doneness<\/mark><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The total cooking time required may vary depending on the performance of your oven. The size and type of the chicken are also influential factors. To check the doneness, here are two methods:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Insert an instant-read thermometer into the thickest part of the chicken. When it reaches 165F&deg;\/75C&deg;, it&rsquo;s fully cooked and safe to consume. Try not to overcook as it results in dryness, particularly in the breasts.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Alternatively, pierce the thickest part with a skewer or a fork. If the juice flowing out appears clear, the chicken is done.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>&#128718;<strong> Tip<\/strong>: If your chicken is a little bigger than 1.8 kg\/4 lbs (I wouldn&rsquo;t recommend a very large one though), increase the cooking time in stage 2 by 5 minutes or so. If smaller, reduce the time accordingly.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"rest-and-serve\"><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#4d8682\" class=\"has-inline-color\">Rest and serve<\/mark><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Don&rsquo;t rush to serve the chicken! It&rsquo;s crucial to rest it after cooking. 10 minutes would do wonders. <a href=\"http:\/\/stuartfarrimond.com\/about\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Dr Stuart Farrimond<\/a> explains in his book <em>The Science of Cooking<\/em> that during resting &ldquo;<em>Heat from the outer layers spreads into the core, and moisture from the cooler core diffuses outwards, giving a more even temperature and juiciness<\/em>&rdquo;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/redhousespice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/sliced-five-spice-chicken-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"sliced roast five spice chicken\" class=\"wp-image-17499\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Tender, moist and flavourful, five spice chicken tastes great on its own. So it&rsquo;s not compulsory to eat it with sauce or gravy.
