Yield 5

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 (4 pound) whole chicken
¾ cup soy sauce
⅓ cup sesame oil
1 cup chicken stock
⅛ cup cornstarch
¼ cup water

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • Place chicken in a roasting pan. Coat with soy sauce and bake at 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) for 30 minutes; reduce heat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and bake for 1 hour.

Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken: Use a whole chicken that is between 3 and 4 pounds. A larger chicken will take longer to cook and may not cook evenly.
  • Prepare the chicken: Rinse the chicken inside and out and pat it dry. Remove any excess fat, and season the chicken inside and out with salt, pepper, and your favorite herbs and spices.
  • Roast the chicken: Place the chicken breast-side up on a roasting rack in a baking pan. Roast the chicken at 400°F for 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F.
  • Let the chicken rest: Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before carving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the chicken, making it more tender and flavorful.
  • Serve the chicken: Carve the chicken and serve it with your favorite sides. Roasted potatoes, vegetables, and stuffing are all popular choices.

Conclusion:

Roast Chinese chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion.
