Ingredients:
3 lb chicken, cut in half
1 looing sauce:
4 cup water
1 cup light soy sauce
1 cup dark soy sauce
1 star anise
1/2 cup dry sherry
5 tbsp sugar
4 slice fresh ginger
1 additional
6 cup peanut oil for deep frying
Instructions:
Blanch the chicken halves in boiling water for 2 minutes. Drain.
Place the bird halves in a pot with the looing sauce ingredients and
bring to a boil. They should be covered with the sauce. Turn the
heat to a simmer and cook lightly for 15 minutes, then allow the
halves to cool in the sauce. Remove and place on a rack on the
counter. Pat dry with paper towels and dry the meat using an electric
fan. Aim the fan at the bird halves for about 3 hours, or until the
skin is dry to the touch. Deep fry one half at a time in oil at 350
degrees. Be very careful when sliding the half into the hot oil. A
wok lid will be helpful in protecting your hands and face in case the
oil should pop and spit at you. Deep fry each half until the skin is
crispy and golden. Drain on paper towels before cutting up to serve.

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.
