After reading the previous post typed out by Geraldine, I browsed through different websites which provides information regarding on the different type of cooking methods for ba kwa. To my surprise, I happened to get to a website which show us how to make organic chicken ba kwa!

Ingredients:

• 1/3 lb (150gm) organic ground chicken
• 1tbsp light soy sauce
• 3 tsp brown sugar
• few squirts of honey
• 1/2tbsp cooking wine
• 1-2tsp canola oil 

Directions:

• Mix all the seasonings in a bowl. 
• Add 3/4 of seasonings (keep remaining in a bowl) into ground chicken
• Add in cooking wine, canola oil. Mix and combine well in a separate bowl, marinating the ground chicken, set aside for about 15-20mins. 
• Preheat oven 350 degrees F. 
• Lay the marinated chicken onto parchment paper lining a flat baking tray. Use another parchment paper* as the "tool" (or acting like a "glove") to press down the chicken, flat and thin.
• Bake at 350 degrees F for about 15-20mins (Note: Do not cover the ground chicken with *parchment paper when baking). 
• At the halfway mark, remove tray from oven, brush the chicken with remaining seasoning + more squirts of honey; turn chicken jerky over on the parchment paper, then brush with more seasonings + more squirts of honey - this ensures more caramelization at the surface due to the honey and sugar.
• Send it back to oven with other side up and continue baking for the rest of 20 mins.

Instead of using barbecuing method,  oven can also be used to bake ba kwa. Using organic chicken not only allow us to consume healthier ba kwa, people like Norlina can also get to enjoy ba kwa too! How cool is that?
