3 tbsp oyster sauce
3 tbsp light soya sauce

1/4 tsp 5-spice powder
White pepper
Black pepper
INSTRUCTIONS:-
1) Clean chicken thoroughly. Rub chicken and cavity with salt then wash off salt thoroughly. Dry chicken, including cavity, with kitchen towel, till completely dry. Give chicken a light massage. [Drying chicken ensure better absorption of seasoning. Light massage tenderise the meat.]

5) Roast chicken in a preheated oven at 180C for 30 mins. Remove from oven, brush on marinating seasoning, flip chicken over and brush on more marinate. Roast chicken for another 30 mins. [If water lessen, dried up, can add HOT water.]
6) Remove and repeat step 5, roast for another 20 - 30 mins.
7) When done, rest chicken for about 15 mins before cutting.
