Teriyaki Injected Whole Chicken

Teriyaki Injected Whole Chicken
Every bite is subtly flavored with teriyaki. Using a marinade injector will give your chicken the most flavor by injecting the marinade directly into the chicken.
3-4 pound whole chicken
1 tablespoon olive oil 1 tablespoon sesame oil 5 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce 2 teaspoons brown sugar |
2 teaspoons brown sugar
1/2 tablespoon minced fresh ginger 2 cloves finely minced garlic |
- Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees.
- In a small bowl, mix all of the ingredients, except chicken.
- Remove the chicken gizzards and liver (freeze for later use), rinse and dry the chicken well.
- Place the needle side of the marinade injector into the teriyaki sauce.
- Extract the marinade and inject a small amount every 1/2-inch or so around the chicken.
- Pour the rest of the marinade over the chicken.
- Place the chicken in a roasting pan on a middle rack in the oven for 50-60 minutes, or until inner temperature reaches 170 degrees.
- Allow chicken to sit about 15-20 minutes before serving.
