Premium Tean's Gourmet Emperor Chicken Seasoning Blend - 25g (6 Pack) | Authentic Asian-Inspired Herbs & Spices Mix for Roasting, Grilling & Stir-Fry | Perfect for Home Chefs & Restaurant Use

We encountered this mix in Malaysia and subsequently spotted it in a shop in New York's Chinatown -- now unfortunately discontinued. So, we were elated to see it available on Amazon. If people knew how good this makes chicken taste, that shop would be selling dozens of packets daily. It is basically a mixture of dry powdered mild herbs and spices, especially angelica root, plus two wrappers. The ingredients are neither hot nor sugary, just slightly salty. You need a whole raw chicken, 3 or 3.5 pounds max. You rub the mix on the inside and outside of the chicken. It has a nice dark color. You can optionally put a 1"-2" piece of dried angelica root (eu yan sang) in the cavity. If you have time, let the chicken marinate for several hours. Then wrap it with the plastic wrapper provided, and wrap that with the foil wrapper provided. Steam for 2 hours. It will be very juicy with a rich herbal flavor that is enticing and hypnotic.
