1.

Bring a pot of water to the boil and blanch the chicken by pulling it in and out of the water a few times to tighten the skin.

Marinate the inside of the chicken with the spicy salt.

Bring the water, vinegars and maltose to the boil.
4.

Bathe the chicken by constantly spooning the hot liquid over the skin and through the centre.

Heat vegetable oil to 150 C and fry the chicken slowly for 15 minutes, spooning oil over the chicken skin constantly.

I have been making a similar dish for years now, but Neils sauce compliments it perfectly.

Been trying the methods quite similar to the above but skin not crispy Nd not to the desired coloured when done. Also it's time consuming. Can someone advise?
