Instructions
Remove and discard giblets and neck from chicken. Rinse chicken with cold water; pat dry. Trim excess fat. Starting at neck cavity, loosen skin from breast and drumsticks by inserting fingers, gently pushing between skin and meat.
Combine soy sauce, ginger, garlic, and broth in a large heavy-duty zip-top plastic bag.
Add chicken; seal and marinate in refrigerator 4 to 8 hours, turning bag occasionally.
Remove chicken from bag, reserving 1/2 cup marinade.
Place chicken, breast side up, on the rack of a broiler pan or roasting pan. Insert meat thermometer into meaty part of thigh, making sure not to touch bone.
Bake at 375 for 1 hour and 10 minutes or until thermometer registers 18
Cover chicken loosely with foil; let stand 10 minutes for chicken to reabsorb juices. Discard skin.
Add 1/2 cup reserved marinade to drippings in pan (you'll have about 1/4 cup drippings), scraping pan to loosen browned bits.
Pour marinade mixture into a small saucepan; bring to a boil, and cook 5 minutes. Stir in sesame oil.
Cut chicken into quarters.
Drizzle with sesame mixture.
Recommended wine: Chenin Blanc, Gewurztraminer, Riesling
Asian works really well with Chenin Blanc, Gewurztraminer, and Riesling. The best wine for Asian food depends on the cuisine and dish - of course - but these acidic whites pair with a number of traditional meals, spicy or not. You could try Lang & Reed Napa Valley Chenin Blanc. Reviewers quite like it with a 4.5 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 30 dollars per bottle.

Lang & Reed Napa Valley Chenin Blanc
The Lang & Reed 2015 Chenin Blanc – Napa Valley has peach and tropical fruit that are immediately on the nose, with the necessary hint of honeycomb (the traditional varietal character), and a lesser expression of apple and citrus. On the palate, the aromas are mirrored and given an even stronger presence with yellow apple exotic citrus notes, which give it an accurate tartness. The texture is tender, and the flavors broaden with a touch of saline minerality, which leads into bright crisp acidity, adding to the wine’s refreshing character. It will blossom and gain in complexity with additional bottle time.
