ISLAND CHICKEN
This recipe was given to chef Keith Famie by one of the locals from Bora-Bora. It really showcases the flavor of Polynesia. This is a nice change of pace from your regular roasted chicken. The chicken gets crispy on the outside, but is nice and tender on the inside. Note: Use low-sodium soy sauce so the chicken doesn't get too salty.

- Roast the chicken for about 15 mintues, then turn the temp down to 350 degrees F. Roast an additional 20 minutes. Brush the glaze on the chicken and return to the oven for an additional 15 minutes. (If you have a larger chicken you may need to increase the time so the chicken fully cooks.).
