1 roasting chicken
1 piece of ginger, about the size of a finger, chopped fine or grated
1 clove garlic chopped fine
2 sprigs of fresh coriander or Chinese parsley (also known as cilantro)
dash or two of soy sauce

soy sauce, peanut oil and ground ginger (for basting) - I would use melted butter not peanut oil

Take a piece of fresh ginger about the size of a finger and chop it fine or grate it on a coarse grater. Combine it with 1 finely chopped clove of garlic and a sprig or two of fresh coriander or Chinese parsley (also known as cilantro). Put this mixture in the cavity of a chicken and add a dash or two of soy sauce. Close the vent with foil, truss the bird and brush it with a mixture of soy sauce, peanut oil and ground ginger. Spit it and roast, basting during the cooking with more soy, oil and ginger.

this recipe didnt say how long to cook.. but I always cook my fresh chickens for one hour with foil overtop and then one hour without foil to get crispy (until temp in breast reaches 180)
