Chinese Roasted Chicken

Description: When I first left home I shared a flat with a chinese girl and this is one of the ways she would cook chicken. The marinade is sticky and yummy and smells wonderful.

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 kg chicken pieces (3 lb)
• 1/3 cup dark soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 teaspoon five-spice powder
• 1 teaspoon garlic (crushed)
• 1 teaspoon gingerroot (grated)
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil

Steps:

1. Marinate chicken pieces in all the other ingredients for at least 2 hours, turning pieces now and again.
2. Arrange in a single layer in a roasting dish and cook in a moderate oven (160 C / 325 F) for 30 minutes, turn pieces and cook a further 25 minutes.
3. Serve hot or cold (cooking time includes marinating time).
