Recipe courtesy Juan-Carlos Cruz

Ingredients
4 whole chicken breasts, skin on
1 teaspoon Szechwan peppercorns
1 teaspoon Chinese five-spice powder
1/2 cup black Chinese tea leaves
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup rice
1/4 cup freshly chopped gingerroot

Instructions
Wash and pat dry the chicken. Combine the peppercorns

and five-spice powder and rub mixture onto dry chicken; set aside.

Line a wok with aluminum foil. Combine tea, sugar, rice, and ginger in a small
bowl. Place mixture on foil in wok. Place wok over medium heat until it starts to
smoke. Place chicken on a rack 3 inches over the tea mixture, skin side up. Cover
with a lid and smoke for 20 minutes or until chicken is fully cooked through.

Remove from wok and serve with steamed vegetables and rice, if desired.
