Provided by Molly O'Neill

Categories     dinner, weekday, roasts, main course

Time 1h

Yield Four servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/3 cup light soy sauce
1/4 cup peanut oil
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon Sherry
1 clove garlic, peeled and crushed
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon finely grated ginger
2 teaspoons 5-spice powder
1 3-pound chicken

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.

Tips:

  • Use a whole chicken: This will give you more meat and flavor than using chicken breasts or thighs.
  • Pat the chicken dry before roasting: This will help the skin crisp up.
  • Season the chicken generously with salt and pepper: This will help develop flavor.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the chicken is cooked through: The internal temperature should reach 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the chicken rest for 10 minutes before carving: This will help the juices redistribute throughout the meat.

Conclusion:

Five-spice soy lemon roast chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The chicken is roasted in a flavorful mixture of five-spice powder, soy sauce, lemon juice, and honey. The result is a tender and juicy chicken with a crispy skin. Serve with rice or vegetables for a complete meal.
