Chinese Roast Chicken

Chinese Roast Chicken


1. 1. Rinse and dry chicken and allow it to stand uncovered in the refrigerator overnight.

2. 2. Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Combine ginger, scallions, garlic, roasted sesame oil and soy sauce in a small bowl and mix well. Loosen the skin of the chicken and rub the spice paste between the skin and the chicken.

3. 3. In a small bowl, combine the cracked szechuan pepper, 5-spice powder, red pepper flakes and salt and rub onto the skin of the chicken.

4. 4. Place the chicken on a rack in a roasting pan. Roast for 15 minutes at 450 degrees. Reduce the oven to 350 degrees and continue roasting, basting frequently with pan juices, for about 1 and a half hours, or until a leg moves freely in its socket.
