Beggar's chicken

Beggar's chicken is a Chinese dish of chicken that is stuffed, wrapped in clay along with lotus, banana, or bamboo leaves, and baked slowly over low heat, a process that can take up to six hours for a single portion. The dish originates from Changshu in Jiangsu province, and while it was traditionally encased in clay, modern versions often substitute dough, oven bags, or ceramic pots for convenience.
