Inside the packet is an aluminium foil piece and a plastic sheet. For steaming you can wrapped the chicken with both the aluminium and plastic sheet. But for baking, you need to remove the plastic sheet as the high temperature in the oven might melt the plastic.
I used three chicken thighs (can use up to four thighs) instead of one whole chicken and rubbed with the spices found in the packet. I throw in some mushroom and wolfberries. I then added about 3/4 cup of hot water into it. More water if you want more gravy and less water if you prefer lesser gravy. For steaming, you dont need to add any water into the chicken as all the steaming will produce the gravy automatically.
Finished product after baking at 200 degrees celsius and slightly more than one hour. But need to turn the chicken thighs every 20 minutes or so for even baking and I poke some holes into the thighs with a fork.
This was a half chicken bake same way as the above on another occasion, can use a whole chicken for the whole packet of spices. For half chicken can use half packet. I almost forgot to remove the plastic sheet when baking hahaha (see the above photo). Manage to remove the plastic sheet just before baking.
After rubbing spices onto the half chicken, I added some water to it. I forgot to take the finished product.
Sorry for the ugly look of the chicken cause my son had taken some meat from the chicken before I take photo of the finished product hahaha.
