Red rice wine chicken (红槽鸡)

SIL just gave birth and somehow DIL got the idea to make red rice wine. This brings back so many memories of granny so I did some surfing and got these 2 links. Will try them out some time!

In the western world, it is called red yeast rice and is being used as a TCM cure for cholesterol. Amazing what our forefathers knew!

I've never actually ever eaten this in my life before, and I think its actually Hakka:

Wish me luck!
