Critical Success Points

  • Spatchcocking the chicken to ensure even cooking and crisp skin
  • Searing the skin side until deeply golden before oven roasting
  • Deglazing the pan and reducing the stock with dried cherries to build a rich sauce

Safety Warnings

  • Handle raw chicken with separate cutting board and wash hands thoroughly to avoid cross‑contamination.
  • The skillet will be extremely hot; use oven mitts when moving it to and from the oven.
  • Hot oil can splatter during searing—keep face away and use a splatter guard if needed.
