This recipe calls for a "Chinese" chicken which I don't have. I do have a chicken from Albania and one from Mexico (but I don't think it is legal). Would it increase global warming if I was to fly one in from mainland China?

I have been looking for this recipe for many years. It first appeared in "BON APPETIT" magazine about 25 years ago. It is delicious. I am so glad the Gores found it in the same magazine and shared it with everyone.
