1/4 cup scallions stalks
2 cloves garlic
2 or 3 slices fresh ginger root
1 cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons sherry
1 tablespoon honey
1 teaspoon salt
1. Cut scallion stalks in 1/2-inch lengths; mince the garlic and ginger root. Then combine with remaining ingredients, blending well.
2. Rub mixture over chicken inside and out. Let stand 1 hour, turning bird occasionally. Drain, reserving marinade for basting. Then roast (see Chicken and Other Poultry, Basic Roast Chicken).
