-
Preheat the oven to 400°C.
-
Line a roasting pan with foil.
-
Rinse the bird inside and out under
cool running water and pat dry with a paper towel.
-
Smooth the sesame oil and soy sauce
all over the outside of the bird, using your hands.
-
Lay the chicken in the roasting pan
breast side down, so that the fattier juices of the back drip
through the breast while roasting.
-
Grind some black pepper over the bird.
-
Roast for about 60 minute.
-
The chicken is done when the legs move
easily and the juices run clear when the thigh is pierced with the
tip of a knife.
-
If the juices are rosy or tinged with
pink, return to the oven for another 10-15 minutes.
