Soy Sauce Roasted Chicken

This is a simple yet utterly delicious way to liven up a roasted chicken! It's so ridiculously easy to prepare, and the flavor pops! Serve this with garlic roasted asparagus, fried rice, ginger garlic veggies, or any other "Asian" inspired sides.


Ingredients:

• 1 roasting chicken
• 4 cups soy sauce

 Directions:

1. Place the chicken in a gallon-sized zip-loc bag. Pour in the soy sauce and marinate the chicken for at least 12 hours (the longer the better, I marinated mine for 2 days!). 
2. Preheat the oven to 450 F. Foil and lightly grease a roasting pan (or 9x13" casserole). Place the chicken breast-side up in the dish and roast in the lower third of the oven for 15 minutes. Decrease the oven temperature to 375 F and roast for an additional 50-60 minutes*.
3. Let it sit for 10 minutes before carving, then serve!

 * Note: Keep an eye on your chicken as it roasts, some ovens run hotter than others. The chicken should be a dark golden brown when it's finished. You want the chicken to be sitting just a little lower than the direct middle of the oven for best results!
