Critical Success Points

  • Properly remove the chicken's backbone without tearing the skin.
  • Crush the pepper, garlic and lemongrass into a paste to release aromas.
  • Marinate the chicken for at least 1 hour, ideally overnight.
  • Brush regularly during cooking to prevent the skin from drying out.

Safety Warnings

  • Handle raw chicken with separate utensils to avoid cross‑contamination.
  • Wash hands and surfaces after touching raw meat.
  • Be careful with sharp knives when deboning.
  • Use kitchen gloves or a towel to handle the hot chicken out of the oven.
