Ingredients

⅓ cup reduced-sodium soy sauce or tamari sauce
2 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
2 tablespoon sesame seeds
1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
1 3.5-4 pound whole chicken
¼ teaspoon salt
1 pound small new yellow or red potatoes, scrubbed and halved (quartered if large)
⅓ cup reduced-sodium chicken broth (optional)
2 tablespoon coarsely chopped parsley

Directions

Preheat oven to 425°F. In a small bowl whisk together soy sauce, 1 Tbsp. of sesame oil, sesame seeds, ginger, garlic, and black pepper; set aside. Pat chicken dry; season with salt. Fold legs up over breast. Tie legs together with 100% cotton kitchen string. Twist wing tips under back.
Heat a 12-inch cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until very hot, 3 to 5 minutes. Add remaining sesame oil to skillet; heat 30 seconds. Place chicken breast side down in the skillet; sear 3 minutes or until golden and crusty. Turn chicken over and sear 3 minutes more. Remove skillet from heat.
Scatter potatoes around chicken. Pour the soy sauce mixture over chicken and potatoes. Roast 1 hour 15 minutes to 1 hour 30 minutes or until a thermometer inserted in the thighs registers 175°F, stirring potatoes and spooning the skillet drippings over chicken once or twice during cooking. If sauce evaporates during roasting, add broth. Remove skillet from oven. Cover chicken; let rest 5 minutes. Sprinkle potatoes with parsley before serving.
