- Add the whole chicken and spread the paste all over the chicken then allow to marinate for at least 1 hour – for best results leave to marinate overnight
- In a large pot add a steamer rack (or wire rack) in the pot then add the hot water ensuring that the hot water doesn’t touch the steamer
- Tie the chicken legs together using kitchen twine then add on top of the steamer – the chicken should not be in contact with the water
