Cook A CHICKEN in a WATERMELON | You Made What?!

Cheers, dears, hello. I'm Emmy and I welcome you. Today... I will

cook

a

chicken

in a

watermelon

. I found this recipe in an old New York Times article for April Blessed's Day. I knew right away I had to make it because it sounded so weird and here we are at the end of summer, so it's the only chance I have to buy a big

watermelon

for

cook

a

chicken

inside so follow me and you'll see

what

I did to get this chicken going. Very good, now you will cut a centimeter of bark to make a stable and flat base.

Cut a third of the top part that will act as a lid, using a ladle. We will make a vacuum where we can put our chicken. Now we season the chicken, season the cavity and put a whole lemon after having pierced it, and I cut it in half. We will put 1 tablespoon of soy sauce. Then we will paint the chicken with 160 ml of soy sauce and Sprinkle with five spice powder. We put the chicken inside the watermelon. We cover again and secure the lid in place with some skewers. Put the whole thing in the can and put it in the oven 200º C for 2 hours 2 hours, we will lower the temperature to 150º C for 3 more hours.

Having cooked for 5 hours, this is

what

it is It's so heavy, so huge and gnarly it doesn't look like a watermelon It has to be said that while this was roasting, the whole house smelled like pumpkin, and when the five spice came out it smelled like it was a sweet and spicy roast, very good. I wasn't expecting this and it didn't smell like watermelon. Very good. Let's see what's inside. God give him! Look at this! Oh! Very juicy inside It looks like a well cooked chicken Five spice is a very popular Chinese mixture that is

made

with 5 spices of which star anise and cinnamon This makes a very good smell.

Okay, let's see if we can scoop the chicken out with a ladle without it breaking. Come on, it's a well-roasted bird and see that it is so tender that it falls apart now I need to reduce the broth and then add 2 slices of cold butter, and serve with the chicken, we will do it like this watermelon terrine Here here is a little dip. I'm dying to do a tasting. Will it taste like watermelon? Let's see! I'm a dark meat girl so I'll go standing for the quarter thigh. How tender it looks. It comes off the bone.

A little of our sauce and have an Itadakimasu tasting! A very tender chicken that falls off the bone tasty and nice touch of five spice I was under the impression that this would be five-spiced at all, but no, it doesn't have any watermelon flavor either I think if you were to serve this chicken without showing the casserole that we used, no one would realize that it was cooked inside a watermelon. I think it would be a great spectacle at a gathering, the spectacle of cutting the watermelon, putting a chicken in and serving it. It is a very tasty chicken though.

I will try the sauce. It is very interesting, sweet and a little sour. It gives more lemon flavor and then this little five-spice essence. A chicken with an interesting aroma and very fun to make.
