How I make it

Marinating and roasting

Mix all the marinade ingredients. Put the chicken and marinade in a zip-top bag and refrigerate for 6-8 hours.
Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
Remove the chicken from the marinade and reserve ¼ cup of the marinade for the glaze.
Arrange the chicken in a baking dish and bake for 45 minutes.

Glaze

While the chicken bakes, heat the oil, ginger and shallot in a saucepan, stirring, for 3 minutes.
Add the rest of the glaze ingredients and simmer over low heat for 15 minutes.
After 45 minutes, brush the chicken with the glaze and return it to the oven for 15-25 minutes more, glazing again every 7 minutes.
