This dish uses gherkin chickens, cut in half lengthwise. These chicken halves look very festive and luxurious on the table, and each guest gets a taste of each of the chicken's delicious parts: the leg, thigh, wing, and breast. Bake the chicken halves in the oven, brushing them with homemade teriyaki sauce, which imparts a delicious, sticky sheen and an incomparable Asian flavor.

Cooking the dish according to the recipe:


  1. Preheat oven to 220°C.

    Season the chicken with salt and pepper and place it skin-side up in the roasting pan. Roast until the skin is slightly crispy, about 25 minutes.
  2. Meanwhile, combine the soy sauce, hoisin sauce, vinegar, ginger, 1 chili pepper, and 1/4 cup water in a saucepan. Chop half the green onion into large pieces, and grate the zest and juice of half a grapefruit; add to the saucepan. Cook, stirring occasionally, until thick and sticky, about 20 minutes. Brush the chicken with a few tablespoons of the sauce and continue roasting until golden brown, about 8 minutes.

  3. Peel the remaining grapefruit half, separate into segments, and place in a bowl. Thinly slice the remaining green onion and finely chop the remaining chili; add the bok choy, sesame oil, and salt and pepper to taste to the bowl. Divide the chicken halves among plates. Stir the remaining roasting liquid into the sauce and drizzle over the top. Serve with the bok choy salad and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
