Ingredients
  

  • 1 ½ teaspoons five spice powder
  • ¼ teaspoon chili powder
  • 4 medium chicken quarters
  • 3 medium cloves garlic grated
  • 2 teaspoons grated ginger
  • 1 tablespoon tamari
  • 1 tablespoon Shaoxing wine
  • 2 teaspoons erythritol
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 cup fresh basil leaves
  • Salt and Pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees. In a small bowl, combine salt and pepper, half of the five-spice powder, and chili powder. Mix well and set aside; this will be your spice salt.
  • Carefully pull chicken skin off thigh over leg bone. The easiest way to do this is to maneuver your thumb in between the chicken skin and meat.
  • Snip the chicken skin with scissors. Trim the chicken skin using knife or cutters into bite-sized portions. [The chicken skin will shrink, so make allowances.]
  • Season generously with the spice salt.
  • Layer a baking sheet tray with parchment paper, chicken skin, and then an additional layer of parchment paper.
  • Place an additional baking sheet on top of the final layer of parchment paper. This ensures that the chicken skin will not stick or curl while baking.
  • Bake the chicken skin for 30-35 minutes. Remove chicken skin from the oven and set aside to cool.
  • In the Instant Pot, add skinned chicken quarters with garlic, ginger, tamari, Shaoxing, sweetener, salt, and remaining five spice.  Set the Instant Pot to manual high for 30 minutes.  Perform a manual release when it's done, then turn off the Instant Pot and let the chicken cool just long enough to handle.
  • Shred chicken and set aside.
  • Pre-heat a pan on the stove. then add olive oil to it. Once the olive oil is hot, scatter basil leaves and cook until translucent.
  • Remove the basil leaves and drain on paper towel. Set aside.  Using the same pan, add shredded chicken.
  • Cook the chicken to give it some color and bring it back up to temp.
  • To serve, top spiced crispy chicken skin with shredded chicken, remaining spiced salt, and basil.
