    Crispy Garlic Chicken With Dipping Salt, Chef Vongerichten sells 60 orders a day of this supermoist Hong Kong-style chicken. One of the reasons it’s so good is that the chicken is fried whole in a wok, yet it doesn’t taste remotely oily. The other reason is that the chicken is rubbed with aromatic five-spice powder and salt four hours before being basted with a vinegar and brown sugar syrup, then marinated overnight; plan accordingly. MAKE AHEAD: The spiced salt can be made up to 2 weeks ahead. Wine: A fruity, peppery red from France’s southern Rhne Valley will complement the chicken and spicy seasoning here. Consider a Grenache-dominated Gigondas, such as the 1999 Domaine du Gour de Chaul or the 2000 Domaine Les Paillres., The BEST chicken ever. EVER. This recipe is at the top of my family’s favourites now! I found this recipe over the summer, and I’ve made it about 5 times now, exactly as written. Try it, you will LOVE this chicken!
