A spicy Sriracha sauce glaze finishes this roast chicken perfectly. The combination of Sriracha, soy sauce, ginger, and a little sesame oil and vinegar makes a delicious glaze for this whole roasted chicken.
The chicken is roasted at a high temperature for 10 minutes to help crisp the skin, then the temperature is reduced to 350 F.
