Description

A whole chicken is marinated with sweetened soy sauce, garlic, and lots of fiery ginger to make this delicious roast teriyaki chicken.

Ingredients

1 (3 pound) whole chicken, cut in half
3/4 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup soy sauce
1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
2 cloves garlic, minced

Directions

1 Pat chicken halves dry with paper towels. Place chicken cut-side down in a 9x13-inch baking dish.
2 Combine sugar, soy sauce, grated ginger, and garlic in a medium mixing bowl; mix well and pour mixture over chicken. Cover and refrigerate for at least 3 hours.
3 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
4 Roast chicken in the preheated oven until no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, about 1 hour. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, near the bone, should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Let cool slightly, then cut into smaller pieces to serve.
