Very tasty. Found the gravy to be a touch salty, but really great taste. Chicken was very moist and tender. This is a keeper.

This was awesome. Next time I wouldn't measure out the oil and soy, even with the reduced amounts some have suggested. Pouring enough to coat the chicken generously is fine and you won't waste expensive sesame oil. I coated with oil first, as someone suggested, then soy. I then poured maybe 1/2 cup water in the pan to prevent burning. Skin side down first to absorb flavor, then flip to skin side up to crisp. It was SO moist, delicious, and unique. Sesame oil brings the true taste of Chinese cooking. Do not substitute.

I loved it for the taste and simplicity but unfortunately the family didn't think it was anything special so probably won't be making it again. :(

My kids loved this especially the gravy. They generally don’t like gravy. The chicken had just enough seasoning although I used low sodium soy. The oil really helps the skin become crisp. Great recipe.

Very good. I only used ~1T of oil...cannot stand an oil slick. I shredded the chicken in the "gravy" and served over rice. Everyone liked it.

so simple and yet SO DELICIOUS! I don't even make the gravy. I find the roast chicken by itself is flavorful enough.

Easy to make and yummy! I added ginger based on someone else's comments. My husband is a fan! :)

I used two chicken quarters and reduced the soy sauce & sesame oil since it wasn't a whole chicken. The whole house smelled wonderful and the flavor of the chicken was great. The gravy itself did turn out quite salty (it IS soy sauce after all!) but I treated it kind of like an au jus just dipping a little at a time. All in all a great and simple flavorful recipe! Thank you.
