I can take absolutely no credit for this chicken it came from a friend of a friend but it is delicious and a must try.  It’s wicked easy and takes just a few minutes of prep time. Use a whole chicken, about 4lbs, and marinate it a day or 2 in advance for prime deliciousness.

Marinade for one 4lb. bird:
¼ Cup of soy sauce
2 tsp. Sugar
2 crushed cloves of Garlic
1 ½ tsp. Five Spice mixture
2tb. Peanut Oil

1. Mix ingredients in a gallon zip lock bag.
2. Put chicken the zip lock (try to squeeze out as much air as you can).
3. Shake it like a Polaroid picture: Shake bird in bag
4. Now leave it alone for a day or 2! But turn occasionally.
5. Place bird, ideally on a roasting pan but any baking dish will work as well.
5. Since the bird will get very crispy… move the oven rack so the bird sits in the top 1/3 of the oven.
6. Turn oven 425 degrees – takes 1.5 hrs depending on how big of a bird you have.
7. Roast bird 2/3 of the time breast down and 1/3 of the time breast up.
8. Remove from the oven and let the bird sit for 20min before carving it up.
