Chinese style roast chicken
Background
In Chinese cuisine it is not normal to roast in an oven, so this Chinese style roast chicken recipe is called "Chinese style" because it uses typical Chinese seasoning. It's ideal for a relaxed family Sunday lunch or when you have friends over for a meal. Serve it with steamed jasmine rice and stir-fried veggies.
