Yellow earth chicken is roasted in a terracotta urn/stove fueled with charcoal, a stove created and designed by Chef Margaret Xu. The high temperature brought by the terracotta makes the chicken skin crispy.
The urn is made with two terracotta (yellow earth in Chinese) plant pots, one put upside down on top of the other, to create a “drum” for even heat induction. The chicken is marinated and served with the chef’s own recipe of homemade fresh wild ginger oil.
