Classic roasted chicken

Here's the classic Chinese roasted chicken seasoned with ginger and soy sauce. A tablespoon of sugar, slivers of hot pepper if you like that, a clove of garlic. Season overnight, or an hour or so.
So many variations are possible with a plump whole chicken. It's the quality of the chicken that counts!

For skin evenly browned on back and breast, cut the bird down the middle
