Beggar's Chicken (Jiaohuaji)

Clean the whole chicken then douse in soy sauces, wine, and salt. Massage well to get everything covered. Add to a ziploc bag along with the rest of the marinade, garlic, ginger, and scallions. On the next day, bring water to boil and soak the dried leaves in the water until they’re malleable. Remove from the water and let cool. To the flour, add water and baijiu in 3 separate instances, slowly stirring everything to form a dough. Knead the dough for a few min until it’s smooth. If the dough gets a bit tough, leave it for 5 mins covered with a towel to let it relax. Roll the dough out, then line it with your leaves. Oil the chicken, then lay in the center of the leaves and wrap. Brush the outside of the dough with just oil before placing it in the oven. Preheat the oven or grill to 425F and add the chicken in. Turn the heat down to 375 and bake for 30 mins, then increase the temp to 400 and bake for another 50 mins. Crack open and enjoy with some soy sauce, rice and greens!
