1 3 pound chicken
1 1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons soya sauce
2 tablespoons brandy
5 tablespoons safflower oil
1/2 teaspoon powdered ginger
1 cup chicken broth
1/4 cup lemon juice

Wash chicken thoroughly and rub the inside of the chicken with 1 teaspoon of salt. Rub the outside of the chicken with the soya sauce. Place the chicken in a deep bowl or pot and pour the brandy over the chicken and allow it to marinate for several hours turning frequently to ensure even coverage.

Drain and save liquid. Heat the oil and ginger in a wok over medium heat and brown the chicken on all sides.
