Main Preparation Steps
- Begin by patting the whole chicken dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine low-sodium soy sauce, hoisin sauce, freshly grated ginger, five spice powder, honey, and packed dark brown sugar.
- Ensure the chicken is well-coated with the marinade, using your hands for thorough coverage.
- Wrap the marinated chicken in plastic wrap or place it in a resealable bag, refrigerate for at least 2 hours or ideally overnight.
- Heat canola oil over medium heat in a large pot until shimmering and carefully place the marinated chicken.
- Sear it for approximately 8-10 minutes until golden-brown.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and transfer the pot into the oven.
- Bake for about 1 hour, or until internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
- Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing.
- Serve it wrapped in flour tortillas, topped with fresh cucumber and scallions.
