Instructions to make Bak Kwa | 肉干 | Chinese BBQ Chicken Jerky:
  1. You can check out my previous recipe for the homemade Chinese 5 spice.
  2. If you have a meat grinder, that's great. Grind the chicken thigh with your meat grinder. - If not, you can use a blender or a food processor. - Cut half of the chicken thigh into small pieces. - Blend or process them up in batches. - Do not over blend or process them. Stop once the meat is ground up.
  3. Transfer the ground chicken into a large mixing bowl. - As for the remaining half of the chicken thigh, use a cleaver, chop into fine pieces. - Chop as finely as humanly can. - Transfer the chopped chicken into the same bowl as the ground chicken.
  4. Add in the rest of the ingredients, except for the liquid smoke. - Mix to combine well. Mix, mix, mix. - A quick tip. Maltose syrup is difficult to work with at room temperature. After measuring out, transfer to a heatproof bowl and let steam for about 5 mins or until the maltose is liquified. - Cover with cling film and marinate in the fridge overnight.
  5. Preheat oven to 180 degree celsius or 360 fahrenheit. - Transfer about 2 heaped TBSP of the chicken onto a parchment paper. - Place the other parchment paper on top of the chicken. - Using a rolling pin, roll and spread out the chicken into a square as evenly as you can, to about 1/8 inch thick. - Remove the top parchment paper.
  6. Do not discard, as you can use it for your second batch.* - Transfer the chicken with the bottom parchment paper onto your baking tray. - Wack into the oven and bake for 10 mins. - *(Optional) For some extra smoked flavors, you can add some smoking chips into a large bowl covered with aluminum foil. Set it on a light fire and place it at the bottom of your oven while baking the chicken.*
  7. Mix 2 heaped TBSP of maltose and liquid smoke until well combined. - Keep it warm on a double boiler for easier handling. If you are using honey or maple syrup, you can skip this step. - Remove from the oven. - Brush the chicken with the maltose mixture.
  8. Wack into the oven and bake for another 10 mins. - Remove from the oven. - Set oven to roast. - Brush the chicken with more maltose mixture.
  9. Wack into oven and roast for 5 mins. - Remove from oven, flip and brush the chicken with maltose mixture. - Wack into oven and bake for a final 5 mins or until the edge are lightly charred. - Remove from oven, set aside to rest and cool before serving. It will taste better the next day. - Repeat the process for the remaining chicken.
  10. Smoked version: - - I also included a smoked version with the help of my NordicWare's Stovetop Kettle Smoker. It is optional. But I would recommend smoking these Bak Kwa. Yes, it does lack texture but sure makes up for flavors. And I mean, complex layers of flavors.
  11. For the smoking method. - If you are using this smoked method, replace smoked salt with sea salt. - If you have a smoker, I would highly recommend smoking the chicken jerky. Although it lacks texture, it makes up for flavors. - I am using NordicWare's Stovetop Kettle Smoker.
  12. Follow the procedures as per instructed manual. - After the chicken had been marinated, transfer about 2 heaped TBSP of the chicken onto a parchment paper. - Place the other parchment paper on top of the chicken. - Using a rolling pin, roll and spread out the chicken into a circle (smaller than the kettle smoker), as evenly as you can, to about 1/8 inch thick.
  13. Remove the top parchment paper. - Do not discard, as you can use it for your second batch. - Keep maltose warm on a double boiler for easier handling. If you are using honey or maple syrup, you can skip this step. - Smoke for 15 mins, remove the cover, brush with the maltose.
  14. Cover and smoke for another 15 mins. - Remove cover, flip and brush with the maltose. - Cover and smoke for a final 10 or 15 mins or until the edges are lightly charred. - I would suggest, taking the temperature higher than stated in the instruction manual, cos we want those charred edges. - Remove from smoker, set aside to rest and cool before serving. It will taste better the next day. - Repeat the process for the remaining chicken.
