Method

Step 1 of 5

Place soy, honey and mirin in a small saucepan over medium heat and bring to a simmer. Simmer for 5 minutes or until thickened slightly and reduced by one-third. Pour into a large bowl and set aside to cool completely.

Step 2 of 5

Add chicken to soy mixture, turning to coat. Place chicken, breast-side down, in bowl, then place in fridge to marinate for 30 minutes or overnight, if time permits.

Step 3 of 5

Preheat oven to 200°C/180°C fan-forced. Line a medium roasting pan with baking paper. Tuck wings under chicken, then place, breastside up, in pan. Tie legs together with unwaxed kitchen string, then pour over marinade. Bake for 1 hour 30 minutes, basting every 15 minutes, or until golden and cooked through. Cover loosely with foil and rest for 10 minutes.
