​This amazing drunkin chicken recipe gets its name from the Shaoxing wine it's cooked in, and will not disappoint!

​Ingredients
       1 whole chicken
       380mls LKK dark soy sauce
       ¼ cup Shao Xing rice wine
       2cm knob ginger, finely sliced
       1 clove of garlic, peeled and roughly chopped
       1 star anise
       1 ½ tbsp. sugar
       1⅓ cups water
       
       To serve
       2 tsp Olivado sesame oil

Instructions

Place the chicken breast side down into a saucepan just large enough to fit it. Add remaining ingredients and bring to a boil over a med high heat. When boiling reduce heat to low, cover and simmer gently for 8 minutes.

Turn chicken over and simmer for 20 minutes and baste all the time with the liquor to ensure it stays moist. Remove the saucepan from the heat and let cool.

​When cool remove the chicken and brush with sesame oil. Cut into 8 pieces and serve with a little cooking liquor on the side.
