Unless you are vegetarian, probably chicken is the most often meat we consumed. Children love chicken and I think roast chicken is their favourite specially accompany with mash potatoes and peas.
This recipe is rather unconventional since I use soy sauce for marinate, but it makes the roast chicken tastier and give an even golden colour when its cooked.
Anak-anak menyukai ayam panggang apalagi kalau tidak pedas. Saya sudah memasak dengan resep ini berulang kali, biasanya dengan mash potatoes....., favourite anakku. Kalau untuk kita, enaknya dimakan dengan sambal kecap yang pedasssss....
