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.
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.

CHICKEN WITH ORANGE AND ONION
In this recipe, adapted from my mother, Annette Gertner, an orange, pith, skin and all, provides a bittersweet counterpoint for tangy onion to season and dress a whole, broken-down chicken that's browned on one side, then baked. Worcestershire sauce binds the flavors with a good amount of umami, while some bits of orange and onion paving the chicken skin caramelize in the oven and enrich the pan sauce.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 375 degrees. Cut orange in half and juice it. You should have at least 2/3 cup of juice. Add Worcestershire sauce. Set aside. Cut orange peel, with pith, into 1-inch pieces. Place orange peel and onion in food processor and pulse to chop fairly fine, or chop both together by hand. Spread half this mixture in a baking dish large enough to hold the chicken snugly in a single layer (a 9-by-13-inch pan should suffice).
- Using a whisk or fork, mix ginger, 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper (to taste) in a shallow bowl. Season the chicken with it, then dredge chicken pieces in flour to coat only the skin side. Heat butter in a large, heavy skillet on medium high. Brown chicken on skin side and transfer, skin side up, to the baking dish on the bed of orange and onion.
- Pour orange juice, Worcestershire sauce and wine into skillet. Cook on medium for 2 to 3 minutes, scraping up any residue in the skillet. Stir in reserved minced chopped orange peel and onion. Pour over and around chicken. Bake for about 45 minutes, basting a few times, until dark meat juices run clear when pierced with a knife. Serve directly from the baking dish or transfer to a platter and serve.

Steps:
- Season the chicken with salt and set aside. Heat the oil in a wok or large frying pan over a medium heat, add the halved spring onions, ginger, star anise and bay leaves. Stir-fry for 5 mins until fragrant and the spring onions turn slightly golden.
- Pour in the light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, oyster sauce, Shaoxing rice wine, 2 tbsp of the sugar and 480ml water. Turn the heat up to high and bring the liquid to the boil.
- Slide in the chicken thighs, skin-side down, arranging them in a single layer. Add water if needed to just about cover the chicken.
- Turn the heat down low, cover the wok or pan and simmer for 35 mins. Turn the thighs over and cook covered for another 10 mins.
- Remove the chicken to a plate. When the thighs are cool enough to handle, remove the bones and slice into pieces about 1cm thick. Arrange on a serving dish.
- While the chicken is cooling, strain 150ml of the braising liquid into a small pan and discard the solids. Put the pan over a medium heat and just before it starts to boil, add the cornflour mixture and remaining brown sugar. Once the sauce reaches your desired thickness, remove from the heat. (It should be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.) Pour it over the sliced chicken or serve in a bowl on the side for dipping. Garnish with the sliced spring onion. Serve with jasmine rice and steamed greens, or vegetables of your choice.

Tips:
- Use a whole chicken: A whole chicken is more flavorful than just breasts or thighs. It also cooks more evenly.
- Use dark soy sauce: Dark soy sauce has a richer flavor than regular soy sauce. It also adds a beautiful color to the chicken.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: Make sure there is enough space between the chicken pieces so that they can cook evenly.
- Roast the chicken until the skin is crispy: The skin should be golden brown and crispy. This will help to keep the chicken moist.
- Let the chicken rest before carving: Let the chicken rest for 10-15 minutes before carving. This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the chicken.
Conclusion:
This chicken roasted with onions and soy sauce is a simple but flavorful dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you like your chicken spicy, sweet, or savory, this recipe is sure to please.
