Ingredients
  

For the Chicken
  • 1 whole Chicken Choose a fresh whole chicken for the best taste and tenderness.
  • 1/2 cup Light Soy Sauce
  • 1/4 cup Dark Soy Sauce
For the Marinade

  • 1 inch Ginger Fresh or powdered.

Equipment

  • oven
  • heavy pot
  • zip-lock bag
  • meat thermometer

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Begin by marinating the whole chicken in your soy sauce mixture, ensuring every bit is well coated. Place it in a large zip-lock bag for optimal flavor absorption.
  2. Remember to take it out of the fridge 2 hours before cooking so it can reach room temperature.
Cooking
  1. Set your oven to a gentle 325°F (160°C). This low temperature will allow the chicken to cook evenly.
  2. Place your marinated chicken in a heavy pot, leaving it uncovered. Bake for about 90 minutes, turning and basting with the sauce every 15 minutes.
  3. Ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 172°F (77°C).
  4. Once cooked, allow the chicken to rest for a few minutes before slicing.
  5. Serve it over a generous mound of hot steamed rice and drizzle with the aromatic scallion oil.
  6. Optional: Garnish with toasted sesame seeds for added flavor.
