How to Make Thai Style Roast Chicken

  1. Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F).
  2. Rinse and pat the chicken dry with paper towels.
  3. In a bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, fish sauce, brown sugar, honey, garlic, ginger, lemongrass (finely chopped), red chilies (finely chopped), and lime juice.
  4. Place the chicken in a large roasting bag or a baking dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring it's coated evenly, inside and out.
  5. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or preferably overnight for maximum flavor.
  6. Remove the chicken from the refrigerator 30 minutes before roasting to allow it to come to room temperature.
  7. Place the chicken on a wire rack set over a baking tray to allow for even cooking and crispy skin. (If using a roasting bag, place it directly on the baking tray).
  8. Roast uncovered for 1 hour and 20 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 75°C (165°F) and the juices run clear. Baste the chicken with the pan juices every 20 minutes for extra flavor and moisture.
  9. Remove from the oven and let rest for 10 minutes before carving and serving. Garnish with fresh cilantro and lime wedges.
