PRINT RECIPELISTED IN:
Using a glaze on butterflied chicken is a great idea as it helps seal in juice and flavour and leads to delicious, crispy skin.
- Did you know that butterflied chickens are cut through the backbone to ensure the meat stays tender, juicy and moist while cooking?
- If the chicken drumstick tips or wings are becoming too brown, simply cover them with foil before returning to oven.
- Butterflying a chicken reduces cooking time by increasing the surface area and allowing for uniform heat distribution over the meat.
- If quince paste is a little firm to manage, simply sit the jar in a bowl of warm water, or microwave in short bursts (lid off) until it heats and becomes softer.
