Roasted Chicken Rice (Chinese-Styled)

This is one dish that everyone in my family tends to over eat! It must be the rice or maybe the chicken? Well, I served the rice with some soup too. You can add some soft tofu with the chicken stock and season with sea salt and add a few dash of white pepper. Some good accompaniments for the chicken rice are ground ginger, some dark soy sauce and some blanched bean sprouts.
