Steps:
- In a shallow dish large enough to hold the chicken, mix the soy sauce, peanut and sesame oils and Sherry. Add the garlic, salt, ginger and 5-spice powder. Mix well. Rub the chicken inside and out with the mixture. Marinate, lightly covered, for at least 2 hours, and up to 24 hours, in the refrigerator, basting and turning frequently.
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Remove the chicken from the refrigerator and wipe well to remove the marinade. Place the chicken in a roasting pan. Strain the marinade through a sieve; discard the solids and spoon the liquid over the chicken. Place the pan in the oven and roast for 45 to 50 minutes, basting frequently, or until a meat thermometer registers 158 to 160 degrees when inserted in the thigh. Remove from the oven and allow to rest for 3 minutes before serving.

SIMPLE SOY SAUCE CHICKEN
My boys always begged for this chicken. It literally falls off the bones and the sauce gives a rich flavor to the rice. Made with pantry staples, it's easy to throw together, too! Use low-sodium soy sauce if you're sensitive to salt. My family prefers chicken thighs but any pieces will work. Skin the chicken pieces if preferred. A zesty Italian dressing works best.

SOY ROAST CHICKEN WITH GINGER AND SPRING ONION
A beautiful Chinese-flavoured roast from Ross Dobson's "Chinatown" book. This was perfect, with dark roasted skin over juicy flesh and a beautiful dressing - plus it's fun to hear the dressing sizzling when you pour the hot oil onto it! A very easy, foolproof roast - I rarely can roast chickens well in my dodgy over, but this one was perfect. Ideally put the chicken into marinade the night before roasting it.

Steps:
- Rinse and dry chicken. Combine the dark soy sauce and 1 teaspoon of the sesame oil and rub the mixture all over the chicken. Place the chicken in a large bowl and refridgerate, uncovered, for a few hours or overnight; turn the chicken occaisionally.
- Preheat over to 200°C (400°F). Line a roasting tin with baking paper. Put the chicken in the tin, breast side up, and roast for 20 minutes. Turn the chicken over and cook for another 20 minutes. Turn the chicken once more so that it is breast side up again and cook for 30 minutes or until golden brown and juices run clear when the thigh is pierced with a skewer.
- Remove and allow to cool slightly then cut the chicken up Chinese style and arrange on a serving platter. (Or just cut into 10 pieces - legs, wings and breasts cut into 3).
- Put the light soy, rice wine, sugar and stock into a small suacepan and heat gently for 2-3 minutes. Pour the sauce over the chicken, then scatter with the ginger and spring onions.
- Wipe the saucepan dry with paper towels, then put the peanut oil and remaining teaspoon of sesame oil in the pan over high heat; when it reaches smoking point, carefully pour it over the chicken, which will cause the ginger and spring onion to sizzle. Serve immediately.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 180 degrees. Rinse/clean and pat dry your chicken. Place it in a foil lined pan and let it chill.
- Combine your butter and herbs and mix it all up.
- Put the butter mixture on the chicken and rub it onto the skin. Now squeeze the juice of your lemon on top of your butter mixture (and save it!)
- Slice an onion in a half, grab your garlic cloves and your squeezed lemon and shove it in your chicken's cavity.
- In a 180 degree oven your chicken goes for at least an hour and a half. Ultimately the time it takes to cook will depend on how big your chicken is. Mine was 8 pounds and I kept him in there for 2 hours.
- Half way through your cooking time, open up the oven and pour on some soy sauce all over the chicken & sprinkle on some paprika.
- The chicken should now be left to cook for the remaining time.
ROAST CHICKEN WITH GINGER AND SOY SAUCE
Steps:
- Wipe the chicken dry with paper towels. Place in a Romertopf, a clay pot with a tight-fitting lid, and squeeze on the juice from the lemons. Place the lemon skins inside the cavity.
- Place a slice of ginger and a garlic clove between the wing joints and between where the leg joins the chicken. Place a clove in the cavity.
- Sprinkle with soy sauce. Slice liver, heart and gizzards and place around the chicken
- Cover the Romertopf and put into a cold oven. Turn the oven to 425 degrees and roast the chicken for an hour. Take the lid off and brown for 15 minutes.

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients. The better the chicken and onions, the better the dish will be.

- Serve the chicken with your favorite sides. Roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, and rice are all great options.
Conclusion:
Roasted chicken with onions and soy sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is a great way to use up leftover chicken, and it can also be made ahead of time. The chicken is roasted until it is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the onions are caramelized and sweet. The soy sauce adds a savory flavor to the dish, and the sesame seeds add a nice crunch. This dish is sure to please everyone at your table.
