My friend gave a large turkey and roasted half of it. "
1. 15 pounds of turkey.
2. Thaw and wash.
3. Cut in half.
4. Cut off the chicken wings. (It does not cut.)
5. Put water in a large pot (the amount of water should be less than that of turkey), star anise, cumin, ginger, cooking wine and salt to boil and let cool. (It should be slightly salty.)
6. Use a fork to make holes in the chicken body to make it easier to taste.
7. Soak the turkey in cool chimney water for one night.
8. Remove the soaked turkey, dry the water with kitchen paper, and cut the chicken legs and breasts with a knife.
9. Put garlic and minced ginger in a bowl.
10. Add other marinades.
11. Mash and mix well.
12. Spread on the chicken and marinate in the refrigerator for 24 hours. (I was afraid that the skin would be burnt, and the skin was not wiped. Later, a friend told me that the skin should be wiped before it can be colored.)
13. The skin of the marinated turkey is scalded with boiling water.
14. Pour till the skin tightens.
15. Brush a layer of honey water while it is hot, and use a blower to dry the skin. (If you have time, you can leave it to dry naturally for 4-5 hours.)
16. Put it in the preheated oven and bake for 40 minutes at 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius). (Place a large roasting pan under the grilling net and put boiling water in the roasting pan. This way the turkey will not dry out when it is roasted.)
17. In 40 minutes, half of the turkey is almost cooked. Take out the water in the baking tray. Brush the turkey with honey water and increase the oven temperature to 450 degrees Fahrenheit and bake for 10-15 minutes to color.
18. Take it out and let it cool.
19. Slice or tear open and eat.
