Chinese Roasted Chicken With Soy Lime Dipping Sauce Recipes

CHINESE ROAST CHICKEN

Steps:

• Mix together soy sauce, lemon juice, honey, sesamme oil, dry mustard, ginger, garlic and ground black pepper to make the marinade.
• Place chicken in a bowl or zip lock plastic bag.
• Pour marinade over it.
• Marinate in refrigerator for at least one hour, I marinate it for at least 12 hours.
• Turn the chicken over in marinade occasionally.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Roast chicken on rack until chicken is dark brown and a fork can be inserted with ease, at least 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 hours.
• Bring marinade to full boil and use to baste chicken every 15 minutes.

CHINESE ROASTED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Marinate chicken pieces in all the other ingredients for at least 2 hours, turning pieces now and again.
• 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.
• Serve hot or cold (cooking time includes marinating time).

SOY-LIME DIPPING SAUCE

Steps:

• 1. Place the garlic, chilies and sugar in a mortar and pound into a paste. (You can also chop the garlic and chilies by hand.) Transfer to a small bowl and add the soy sauce, lime juice and water. Stir until well blended. This sauce will keep up to 3 weeks if stored in the refrigerator in a tight-lidded jar.

SOY-ROASTED 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.
