2. Step

Preheat your oven to 350℉. Spread the vegetable oil on the rack of a roasting pan so that the chicken won’t stick to it when roasted. My roasting pan is a 17 inch by 12 inch roaster with rack. Massage the garlic and oil mixture all over the outside and inside of the chicken. Gently pat it in.

7. Step

Broil 2 to 3 minutes until the chicken is golden brown on top. Be sure to keep an eye on it so as not to burn it. Transfer the chicken to a large platter and serve right away with the cream cheese dipping sauce (the recipe below) and pickled radish. I like to cut the chicken into chunks, then diners take some with their forks (or chopsticks) and put it on their plates themselves. Add a scoop of dipping sauce to your plate, and dip and eat!
