Teriyaki Roasted Chicken

Ingredients

• 1 whole chicken , 3 pound
• 0.75 cups granulated sugar
• 0.75 cups soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
• 2 cloves garlic , minced

Instructions

1. 1

   Pat chicken halves dry with paper towels. Place chicken cut-side down in a 9x13-inch baking dish.

2. 2

   Combine sugar, soy sauce, grated ginger, and garlic in a medium mixing bowl; mix well and pour mixture over chicken. Cover and refrigerate for at least 3 hours.

3. 3

   Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

4. 4

   Roast chicken in the preheated oven until no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, about 1 hour. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, near the bone, should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Let cool slightly, then cut into smaller pieces to serve.
