Vietnamese 5-Spice Roasted Chicken/Cornish Hen (Gà Nướng)
Report
Vietnamese Roasted Chicken (Gà Nướng) is a well-loved and simple Vietnamese poultry dish. This time, I chose a Cornish game hen – It's tender, juicy, and just the right size for a couple's meal.

Ingredients
- 1 cornish game hen (2.4 pound or 1.1 kg)
- 2 tbsp all-purpose soy sauce
- 1 tbsp chicken powder
- 1 tbsp oyster sauce
- 1 tbsp paprika powder (optional, just for color)
- 1 tbsp Sriracha sauce
- 1 tbsp garlic powder
- 3½ tbsp condensed milk
- 1½ tbsp cooking oil
Muối Tiêu Sữa Dipping Sauce
- ½ tbsp salt
- 1 tsp black pepper powder
- 1½ tbsp sugar
- 1 tbsp condensed milk
- 2 tbsp lemon/lime juice
- ½ tbsp water
- ½ kaffir leave/lime leave
Instructions
Marinate the chicken:
- Rub the chicken with coarse salt and rinse it thoroughly. Pat it dry using kitchen papers, starting from the outside skin and moving towards the inside.
- Combine all the marinade ingredients.
- Massage the chicken with the marinade on both the outside and inside. Let it rest for at least 30 minutes or overnight in the fridge to enhance the flavor.
Air fry the chicken:
- Place the chicken in the air fryer basket, air fry it at 356°F (180°C) for 15 minutes.
- Flip the chicken, brush the remaining sauce onto it, and cook for an additional 10 minutes.
- Since my hen is small, I cook it for only 25 minutes. Adjust the cooking time based on your chicken's size, but be cautious not to overcook. To check for readiness, use a toothpick to prick the thick part of the chicken (breast or thighs). If no red blood comes out, the chicken is ready.
- Before serving, allow the roast chicken to rest for 15 minutes.
Bake the chicken in an oven:
- Before cooking, preheat the oven to 392°F (200°C) for 10 minutes.
- Bake the chicken for 25 minutes.
- Turn the chicken over, shield any charred areas with foil, and apply the remaining sauce to the chicken.
- Continue baking the chicken at 356°F (180°C) for other 20 minutes.
- Check if the chicken is ready ot not with a toothpick.
- Let the roast chicken rest for 15 minutes before serving.
Make dipping sauce:
- Mix all ingredients together. Adjust to your taste. The dipping sauce should have a balanced flavor of sweet, sour, and salty.
