The owner of this shop heads to a local market early in the morning to buy the chickens, then brings them back and marinates them using his secret sauce. If a crispy skin is desired, the meat needs to be air-dried for some time. The roast chicken is made-to-order and only takes about 20 minutes to cook. To maintain a high level of quality, the restaurant only makes 40 roast chickens per day.
