Instructions

Set the oven to 190C / 375 F
You will need a deep oven proof baking dish. A le Crueset or something similar.
Put the soy sauce, sweet soy, honey, vinegar and stock into the pot and stir well.
Add the crushed garlic the grated or chopped ginger and the finely sliced onions
Put the chicken into the pot and roll it over leaving it on the breast side down so that this cooks in the soy sauce for a bit.
Bake the chicken for 40 minutes before flipping it over. Once the chicken is flipped onto its back bake for a further 40 minutes depending on the size of the chicken.
To check it is cooked through test the inside of the thigh. The juice should run clear. A chicken should take about 20 minutes per 500 gm.
Serve this chicken with rice, salad, coleslaw, quinoa or roasted vegetables. It will go with pretty much anything. This can be eaten reheated or also cold sliced.

Notes

Light soy is light in colour and flavour. It is a standard Chinese soy sauce. If unavailable use the Japanese equivalent Kikkoman
If you can't find ketchup manis substitute it with 2 tablespoons of extra soy and 2 Tablespoons of brown sugar
if you love the flavour of sesame like I do add 2 Tablespoons sesame oil to the soy sauce and stock mix. Serve with roasted sesame seeds.
You can replace the stock in this recipe with Chinese cooking wine for a bigger flavour. You could also add star anise and cassia bark if you want a more Asian spiced flavour.
I like to serve mine with fresh sliced chilli
You can also make this chicken using pieces too
