How to Make Asian Roasted Chicken

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Remove giblets and neck from chicken.
3. Rinse chicken inside and out with cold water and pat thoroughly dry.
4. Trim excess fat from the chicken.
5. Loosen the skin from the breast and drumsticks by gently inserting your fingers between the skin and meat, starting at the neck cavity.
6. In a large, heavy-duty zip-top bag, whisk together 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 tablespoons grated fresh ginger, 4 cloves minced garlic, and 1/2 cup chicken broth.
7. Add the chicken to the bag, seal, and marinate in the refrigerator for 4-8 hours, turning occasionally.
8. Remove chicken from bag, reserving 1/2 cup of the marinade.
9. Place chicken, breast side up, on a rack in a roasting pan or broiler pan.
10. Insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the thigh, ensuring it doesn't touch the bone.
11. Roast for 1 hour and 10 minutes, or until the thermometer registers 180°F (82°C).
12. Loosely cover the chicken with foil and let stand for 10 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
13. Discard the chicken skin (optional).
14. In the roasting pan, add the reserved 1/2 cup marinade and scrape up any browned bits.
15. Pour the marinade mixture into a small saucepan, bring to a boil, and simmer for 5 minutes.
16. Stir in 1 teaspoon sesame oil.
17. Cut the chicken into quarters.
18. Drizzle the sesame marinade over the chicken.
19. Sprinkle with 1/4 cup chopped green onions before serving.
