  Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   3      pounds        frying chicken -- (3 to 4 lb)
   1      teaspoon      salt
     1/3  cup           soy sauce
     1/2  teaspoon      sugar
   1 1/2  tablespoons   fresh ginger root -- minced
   2      tablespoons   sherry
   1                    freezer bag -- gallon

Loosen the skin around the chicken by sliding a chopstick between the
meat and the skin, poking into thighs, legs, from the back and over
the breast. Wash and dry chicken, and salt the cavity and outside.
Mix soy sauce, sugar, ginger and sherry. Pour inside the chicken
skin, turning the chicken so the mix penetrates all around the
chicken. To freeze: wrap chicken tightly in plastic wrap. Place whole
chicken inside gallon ziploc freezer bag. Freeze. To prepare: thaw
wrapped chicken before cooking. Place chicken breast down in
microwave cooking dish and cover with Stretch-Tite or plastic wrap.
Cook 12 minutes on High with breast down; turn chicken breast up,
cover with Stretch-Tite and cook 13 minutes more on High. Cut up on
platter for serving, and top with the juices.

Serving Ideas: Steamed rice, stir-fried vegetables, fortune cookies &
tea

NOTES: A terrific, flavorful chicken dish: there are never leftovers
