I have a small clay pot which was insufficient. So decided to try a medium size wok with a lid. Got a free range fresh chicken complete with head and feet to impress my VN wife. Apparently it does. Used the ingredience as per the video but also added a ts of Annato powder to give it some colour. Didn't have any guava leaves so i just stuck with lime. Video said 15 minutes medium heat, recipe said 40 mins, I did 30. Will try 20 next time. Clean-up, nothing stuck, huge relief. Magnificant flavour
