Mix soy sauce, garlic powder, honey (or sugar syrup), paprika and olive oil. Grease the chicken with marinade (I have two chickens of 550 grams each) outside and inside, put in a baking dish. Leave to marinate for at least half an hour.
Tie the legs of the birds with a culinary thread, pin the wings to the carcass with toothpicks. Thus, the chickens will not “open up” during baking.
Bake the bird in a preheated 180° oven for 35-40 minutes. The baking time depends on the power of your oven and the size of the chickens being cooked. 15-20 minutes before the end of the baking process, cover the bird with foil so that the chickens are not too browned. Take the chickens out of the oven two or three times (during cooking) and pour marinade juice over them.
