Preparation

Step 1

In a bowl, mix the ingredients for the sauce evenly and marinade chicken in the sauce for a few hours. Turn the chicken halfway through the marinating process to ensure that the marinade sauce is absorbed evenly. On a large piece of aluminium foil, place a small amount of ingredients at the bottom and place the chicken on top. Pour half of the remaining marinade sauce over the chicken and lay the rest of the ingredients over the chicken. Wrap the aluminium foil tightly (just 1 layer). Steam at high heat for 35 minutes. Open the parcel and flip the chicken to the other side and steam for another 10 minutes. Serve.
