How to Make Whole Sticky Glazed Chicken
- Rinse the chicken thoroughly under cold running water.
- Pat the chicken completely dry with paper towels.
- Place one whole lemon inside the chicken cavity.
- Secure the chicken legs together tightly using unwaxed kitchen string.
- Place the chicken in a glass or ceramic baking dish.
- In a jug, whisk together: 2 tbsp grated fresh ginger, 4 cloves minced garlic, 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1/4 cup soy sauce, 1 tbsp five-spice powder, and 2 tbsp rice wine.
- Pour half of the sauce mixture over the chicken, ensuring it coats the entire surface.
- Gently turn the chicken to coat evenly with the marinade.
- Cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (or longer, if time allows).
- Preheat your oven to 190°C (170°C fan-forced).
- Place the chicken, breast-side up, on a wire rack set inside a baking dish to allow for even cooking and crisp skin.
- Roast for 1 hour and 37 minutes, basting with the reserved marinade every 15 minutes. The chicken is done when the juices run clear when a skewer is inserted into the thickest part of the thigh and the skin is beautifully browned.
- Remove from the oven, let rest for 10-15 minutes before carving and serving.
