Chinese Roast Chicken

OH, my goodness!!! This was absolutely DIVINE!!! I stuffed my chicken with sliced onion, garlic, and celery just to add extra flavor. Basted as directed, and served with rice, stir-fried vegs and remaining marinade. WONDERFUL!!! Only thing I changed was to add a little extra garlic and I also skipped the mustard, as I didn't have any on hand. DEFINITELY A KEEPER!! Thanks, mandabears!!! ~Manda

Excellent recipe. We ate this with sauted mushrooms and cabbage for people who dislike cabbage (recipe number 18816). Thanks for sharing!

This chicken was fantastic. I didnt change a thing except I marinated the chicken for about 8 hrs due to time comstraints. Moist, tender, and delicious. I served the chicken with a side of sesame noodles. Had enough left over for my lunch the next day and the chicken was still perfect. Thanks for sharing such a great recipe.

Grrrrrrrrrrreeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaat Recipe and was raved about at my New Year party. Stole the thunder. I left out the mustard too as I am not sure what you mean by dry mustard. In India, we are not too familiar with all the ingredients mentioned in the Zaar recipes. But nevertheless whatever i have tried so far from here turns out lovely! though the unavaibility of ingredients does cramp my style :(

This was wonderful. Easy to make, and tastes great, really had that chinese flavor, almost like a chinese duck recipe! I marinated this overnight. The skin turned out darker than I thought, in fact I thought I had burned it, but it's just the marinade working. And the crispy skin tasted good too. I left out the dry mustard only because I didn't have any. Didn't miss it at all. Honestly thanks! Because we will be making this again for sure!

This was really easy and good. I did plan to do it in the BBQ but the wind came up so it went into the oven. And it came out great. Two of us polished this off with no problem. This will be repeated. Thanks for the post mandabears.

Very moist and tasty. Served it with "Lo Mein Like Evergreen" and it complemented it very well. The whole family enjoyed it.

The chicken was incredibly moist, but I didn't like the flavor. It tasted salty, actually.

Excellent dish that (almost) the whole family liked! I usually don't prep enough for the full 12 hours of marinating, but even at 2-3 hours, it still tastes great!

Thank you for posting this recipe. Wow, our chicken was incredibly tender & moist!! We followed your recipe & marinated the chicken for 12 hours. We were both surprised the flavours didn't penetrate the meat & intensify, which is why I'm rating it a four star. Majority of the flavour was in the blackened skin, which I normally try to avoid. Otherwise, it was an excellent dinner that we both enjoyed.

My DH and I loved this. I never had whole chicken turned out tasting this great. I left out the dry mustard also, marinade the chicken for 9 1/2 hours, turned the chicken over after 45 minutes. I will definately make this again. Thank you mandabears for this great recipe.

I absolutely loved the marinade. I didn't marinade the chicken for 12 hours only three and the next time I probably will. I think this would be great for chiken breasts on the grill and will try it that way the next time. Thanks for posting the recipe.

WONDERFUL recipe!!! I used fresh ginger and white pepper and marinated the chicken for about 8 hours. Cooked it on my rotisserie, basting with the marinade, and it was fabulous!Served it with braised baby bok choy(#80335),Chinese fried rice(#38748) and my recipe for fresh asparagus salad for a really yummy dinner.Thanks,Mandabears, for a great recipe that I'll serve often!

I thought this was excellent! I mariniated the chicken for about 24hrs. Will make again but will use fresh ginger instead of dried.

The recipe was easy to follow and the chicken was definitely moist and juicy, however, I did not find it big on flavour.

The smell throughout the house while this was cooking was to die for. We couldn't wait for it to be dinner time. The only change I'll make next time is to use boneless skinless breasts. I can't wait to try it again.
