Note from Ricardo

In China, tea is an essential part of everyday life. It is enjoyed before or after dinner, but rarely during a meal. Tea leaves are also used for smoking duck, chicken or shrimp. Here is an original way to cook whole chicken or chicken pieces (cooking time will be about 15 minutes longer for a small chicken) while filling the house with tea aromas.
