Beijing Beer Can Chicken – Award-Winning Chicken from Grill-SM

Here comes the recipe for the chicken we made in the Grill-SM qualifier.

It had the judges down on their knees praising us while they screamed for more. Honestly, I can say it’s just that incredibly good.

I’ve made it a few times and feel the same every time. Lots of people have asked for the recipe, and now that the competition is over, here it comes.

The secret here is the freshly ground spices, so don’t cheat on this.

For the chicken, we also have our poultry temperature guide.

Asian five spice

Start by making an Asian five spice mix. You can buy it in well-stocked shops, but don’t fall into that trap; make it yourself. It turns out much better.

Before you do anything else, put the cherry wood chips in water to soak.

Serving

Serve as usual with whatever sides you like. Why not rice and peanut sauce?
