Fresh Garlic - 10 pieces

Fresh Ginger - same volume as garlic

Salt - a lot more than you think

Chicken - drummettes and drumsticks are best

 

Chicken can be fried, roasted, or barbecued, depending upon your fancy and fat tolerance.

 

Smash the garlic, ginger and salt together - I use mortar and pestle, but blender, food processor, etc are fine.  Just be sure to use fresh garlic and ginger rather than from a jar.

I do not measure the salt, but POUR it in when smashing the garlic-ginger mix. Probably amounts to about a tablespoon... Mix should be decidedly salty, but experiment to find your taste.

 

Put mixture into pan and heat it up - add about 1/2 cup water and a bit of oil.

Wash the chicken and make fine slices in the skin, then toss into pan with garlic/ginger.

Lower the heat and simmer the chicken til cooked.

 

Then - fry, barbecue, or roast the chicken. Don't need to cook long as they are already cooked through.
