A traditional Chinese tea-scented chicken recipe, marinated with green tea and aromatic spices, then roasted and braised to perfection.

Instructions

1

Prepare the chicken by cleaning and cutting open the belly. Place the chicken and all seasonings in a bowl. Brew the green tea and pour both the tea and water into the bowl. Marinate for at least 2 hours.
2

Tuck the head into the belly and place in the oven. Set the upper heat to 200°C and the lower heat to 180°C. Roast for 30-40 minutes.
3

Monitor the chicken as it roasts, as oven temperatures may vary. Adjust cooking time as needed.
4

Cut the white radish into chunks and place at the bottom of a clay pot to prevent sticking and add flavor.
5

Transfer the chicken and the marinade into the clay pot. Add the shitake mushrooms. Bring to a boil over high heat, then simmer for 30-40 minutes.
6

Serve the chicken directly from the clay pot at the dining table.
