Baked Salted Herbal Chicken

Look at this delicious baked chicken. Yes, it is simple and easy to prepare especially for those who enjoy no fuss cooking and short preparation time. All you need to do is just clean and drain dry the chicken, rub it with salt all over and let the chicken sit on some fine gingseng roots or alternatively I do use "tangkwei" (another blood nourishing herbs), sometimes. Then, wrap it up well with tin foil or baking paper.

Heat the oven at 250 degrees celsius and baked the wrapped chicken for 45 minutes.....that's it!

When it is cooked, you get to smell the beautiful aroma of the herbal chicken.

I have it served as a set meal for the family. I served it with Garlic Fried Rice...Look at this.... :))

Simple and a delicious Set Meal for the family, try it!
