Tony Tan's roast chicken with black bean sauce — a takeaway classic, reimagined the traditional way
Tony Tan is bringing an Aussie takeaway favourite back to its roots, showing Alice how to cook it the traditional way.
This dish elevates a humble roast chicken with deep, savoury notes from fermented black beans, Shaoxing wine, and fragrant ginger. But the real secret? A homemade chicken broth — crafted from scratch with bones, aromatics, and time — forming the backbone of countless Asian dishes.
This slow, careful process infuses the dish with layers of umami, making it richer and more complex than anything you'd get in a takeaway box. Forget the shortcut — this is how it's really done.
Here's the full list of recipes from Season 2 of A Bite To Eat With Alice.
This recipe appears in A Bite to Eat with Alice, a new nightly cooking show on ABC iview and weeknights at 5pm on ABC TV.

‘Best jersey ever seen': NRL world loses it over unique Broncos look
The Brisbane Broncos have come under intense scrutiny throughout the 2025 season, that all changed on Saturday night. In front of a packed Suncorp Stadium, the players strolled out onto the turf wearing special black jerseys. FOX LEAGUE, available on Kayo Sports, is the only place to watch every game of every round in the 2025 NRL Telstra Premiership, LIVE with no ad-breaks during play. New to Kayo? Get your first month for just $1. Limited-time offer. The black jerseys along with black shorts and black socks are being worn to make a powerful statement for the club's dedicated Mental Health Round. The jersey was designed in collaboration with Broncos Charity Partner, Black Dog Institute, with the club to make a major donation from the proceeds of the jersey to the organisation. Additionally the club announced that proceeds from the 50-50 Charity Raffle at Saturday's game will go towards Black Dog Institute. When the jersey was first announced fans flocked to get their hands on one and if the reaction to the look on Saturday night is anything to go by, the club's website will be getting a workout in the coming days. Fans far and wide who tuned in to watch the contest were all blown away by the look with many dubbing the jersey the best jumper ever seen in NRL history. One wrote on X: 'Just f*** off ... how can my most hated team, have the best looking jersey in the history of rugby league.' A second added: 'These Broncos jerseys are the best NRL jerseys I've ever seen.' A third wrote: 'This Broncos kit is unreal.' A fourth posted: 'Damn this Broncos kit is hot.' Many fans believed they were about to watch the All Blacks take on the Titans and in the opening half it looked like the prime All Blacks were on the park. Reece Walsh returned for his first game and provided an instant highlight with a long cut-out pass to put Gehamat Shibasaki over inside the opening two minutes. Corey Jensen then joined in the party in the 10th minute before Kotoni Staggs put his name on the list in the 17th minute. Shibasaki then doubled down before Josiah Karapani added more misery for the Titans as the Broncos stormed away to hold a 28-0 lead at halftime. 'This is an avalanche,' Dan Ginnane said on Fox League.
