In a bowl add all the marinade ingredients then mix to combine until a smooth paste forms
Add the whole chicken and spread the paste all over the chicken then allow to marinate for at least 1 hour – for best results leave to marinate overnight
In a large pot add a steamer rack (or wire rack) in the pot then add the hot water ensuring that the hot water doesn’t touch the steamer
Tie the chicken legs together using kitchen twine then add on top of the steamer – the chicken should not be in contact with the water
Cover and allow to steam cook for 45 minutes then set aside for 10 minutes to allow it to cool down
In the meanwhile, heat up a deep fryer until hot then add the cooled down chicken and fry for 5-6 minutes until crispy
Serve with roasted potatoes and enjoy!
