Braised Chicken in Five Spice Brown Sauce
  by Amy Rabb-Liu

1 chicken
10 C Water (or a bit more if your chicken is large)
1 C soy sauce
1/2 C wine
4 oz rock sugar
1 5-spice pack
sesame oil to brush on braised chicken
cilantro for garnishing braised chicken

Make sauce by boiling water, soy sauce, wine, sugar, 5-spice pack for 
30 minutes.  Then add whole chicken, return to boil.  Simmer 20 minutes, 
turn chicken and simmer another 20 minutes (increase these times a bit 
for chicken over 6 lbs).  Let soak in cooking liquid.  When cool, store 
in a large ziplock bag with a bit of liquid.  Refrigerate.  Cut and 
arrange; brush with sesame oil. Garnish with cilantro.
