Ingredients:
4 lb frying chicken
2 large garlic cloves, minced
1 knob fresh ginger, grated
1 salt and pepper, to taste
2 tsp asian sesame oil
Instructions:
I highly recommend the romertopf type clay pots. Especially for
chicken. I've done several chicken recipes in mine and they all came
out extremely savory and done to perfection. There's a unique, rich
flavor that seems to typify food cooked in this way. Haven't tried
this one yet, but it's high on the list. The ingredients are Asian,
the technique Western. The result, I imagine, is delectable. It's a
very simple recipe. At least the first time I'd resist any temptation
to embellish it. Well, maybe a few fermented black beans... ;-}
Rinse the chicken inside and out and pat dry. Work your fingers
under the skin of the chicken, carefully loosening skin from flesh
across the breast and legs.
Mix together the garlic, ginger, salt and pepper; rub evenly under the
skin.
Brush the chicken with sesame oil.
Soak a 2-quart unglazed clay cooking pot in cold water to cover for 10
minutes. Drain and place the chicken breast-up in the pot. Cover and
place in a cold oven; turn the thermostat to 475F and roast for 1
hour.
Remove pot from oven and place on a towel. Put lid on another towel.
(The hot clay will break if placed on a cold surface). Transfer
chicken to a heated serving platter and drizzle with some of the
juices left in the pot.
Serves 4.

Chicken is ideal
for weight loss
and dieting
Healthy eating is far better than strict dieting, and weight loss achieved by a change of lifestyle lasts far longer than 'faddy' diets that are difficult to adopt for long periods.
Cooking more low fat chicken can enable you to lose weight gradually as part of a a controlled and healthy diet.
When chickens quit quarreling over their food they often find that there is enough for all of them. I wonder if it might not be the same
with the human race.
