Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).

Rinse the whole chicken under cold water and pat dry with paper towels.

Mix soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, sesame oil, and black pepper in a bowl to create the marinade.

Rub the marinade all over the chicken, ensuring it's well coated inside and out.

Let the chicken marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight in the refrigerator.

Prepare vegetables by chopping carrots, potatoes, and onions into bite-sized pieces.

Place the marinated chicken in a roasting pan and surround it with the chopped vegetables.

Drizzle the vegetables with vegetable oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.

Roast in the preheated oven for 1 hour, basting the chicken every 20 minutes.

Check the internal temperature of the chicken; it should reach 75°C (165°F).

Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes.

Garnish with chopped green onions and cilantro before serving.
