Aluminium Foil Wrapped Herbal Tonic Chicken

Recently, an old friend, an Indonesian Chinese, sent me a photo of his Aluminium Foil Wrapped Herbal Tonic Chicken. Looks appetizing and packed with health benefits. According to him, he learned the recipe from a cooking class conducted by a 5-Star hotel chef in Singapore and mmmmm, the chicken tasted juicy and tender, plus the Chinese herbal infusion that made-up the recipe.

I could list down the ingredients for this herbal tonic chicken but I prefer to present my friend's version of his recipe, since the photo is from him. So, let's wait until his return from his business trip in overseas.

The benefits from herbal tonic chicken: tonify liver, lung, kidneys, improve vision, promote blood circulation, improve stamina and overall vitality. During summer or on hot days, it is recommended to exclude one of its ingredients, the Dang Gui (Chinese Angelica root) - this root / herb is kind of very yang / heaty...It is also recommended that fresh farm spring chicken is used for added efficacy.
