Ingredients
- 1 whole chicken -about 1.5 kilograms
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper freshly ground
- 2 tablespoon oil - use sesame oil for added flavor
- 2 tablespoon soy sauce
- 6 pieces shallots peeled (or 1 large onion cut into quarters)
- 1 head garlic peeled and crushed
- 3-4 talks lemongrass
- 2-3 cups rock salt
- banana leaves
Instructions
- Exfoliate the chicken with some salt. Rinse and then pat dry, inside and out.
- Mix soysauce, oil, 1 tablespoon of salt, and ground pepper in a small bowl, brush this generously inside the cavity and all over the skin of the chicken. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.
- Separate the white stalk from the green leaves of the lemongrass. Using the back of a knife, crush the white part lightly to release the juices. Bundle it with the green parts. Stuff the chicken with the lemongrass, garlic and shallots.
- Add remaining rock salt in a large claypot or regular pot, about an inch high and line with banana leaves fully covering the salt.
- Place the chicken on top of the banana leaves in a sitting position. You can insert a small ramekin or a small empty can on the opening of the cavity to help the chicken stay in position.
- Cover and cook over low heat for about 1 ½ -2 hours or until chicken is cooked and tender.
- Serve with rice and your favorite dipping sauce.
