Wipe chicken with a damp cloth. Mince ginger root; then combine with soy sauce, sherry, salt and pepper. Rub mixture over chicken inside and out. Let stand 1 hour. Cut scallion stalk in 1/2-inch sections. Slice and crush remaining ginger root. Heat oil. Add scallion and ginger root; stir-fry a few times. Add remaining soy sauce and bring to a boil. Cook 2 minutes over medium heat. Hold chicken upside down over a bowl. Pour heated soy mixture into its cavity, letting it drain out through the neck into the bowl. Repeat 5 times, reheating sauce after the second and fourth time. Transfer sauce to a large pan and slowly bring to a boil. Add chicken and cook, turning, until evenly colored (about 10 minutes). Boil water and add to chicken and sauce. Simmer, covered, 10 to 15 minutes. Add sugar and simmer, covered, 2 minutes more. From <The Thousand Recipe Chinese Cookbook>, ISBN 0-517-65870-4.
