Stuff, wrap, roast(2h 20m)
Marinate chicken overnight. Stuff with mushrooms. Wrap in lotus leaves (or parchment + foil). Wrap the whole thing in a flour-water dough crust (like a giant dumpling). Roast at 350°F for 2 hrs. Crack the dough shell open at the table.

The dough shell is traditional but optional. Foil + parchment gives 90% of the result with 10% of the effort.
