Critical Success Points

  • • Marinating for at least 2 hours (preferably overnight).
  • • Not removing too much marinade before baking.
  • • Basting and flipping the chicken halfway through baking.

Safety Warnings

  • • Wash hands thoroughly after handling raw chicken.
  • • Sanitize all surfaces and utensils that come in contact with raw poultry.
  • • Ensure chicken is cooked to at least 75°C (165°F) to avoid foodborne illness.
