Directions
Island Chicken, This recipe was given to chef Keith Famie by one of the locals from Bora-Bora It really showcases the flavor of Polynesia This is a nice change of pace from your regular roasted chicken The chicken gets crispy on the outside, but is nice and tender on the inside Note: Use low-sodium soy sauce so the chicken doesn’t get too salty , I almost always stick with chicken breasts for recipes like this, but in this case, I really wanted to see the full effect of a whole chicken coming out of the oven after finishing up this recipe! Loved the sweet, slightly tangy flavor & even though there were just the 2 of us, I took it to the table before carving it & wished we’d had company! Absolutely great dinner it provided, & I’ll be keeping this recipe around! Thanks for sharing it! [Made & reviewed as a THANK YOU for completing the Baker’s Dozen Special in this fall’s round of Pick A Chef]
