  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

  2. Place chicken in a roasting pan. Coat with soy sauce and bake at 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) for 30 minutes, reduce heat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and bake for 1 hour.

Recipe Note

This is something my mother cooked for me when I was a kid and I still love it. It is a simple roast chicken with sesame seed oil and soy sauce. Serve it with cut-up hard boiled eggs and green onions over rice, if desired.
