A fragrant seasoning paste infuses chicken parts with deep savoriness, while a high-temperature roast results in flavorful browning. Deep slashes cut into the chicken ensure that the paste seasons the meat throughout and helps speed the cooking. To round out the meal, serve with steamed or stir-fried vegetables and rice.

Tip

Don't omit the foil and salt lining for the baking sheet. The salt catches dripping juices and fat, preventing smoking, while the foil makes for super-easy cleanup.

Yummy!
Wonderful recipe. It's a great opportunity to use a spatchcock chicken, if you like. That took about 45 minutes in my oven. Don't skip the slashes. The salted pan definitely reduces the smoke. But you could skip it if your oven/kitchen are well ventilated. I'd say it's up to you.

This was really delicious. I made it according to instructions and although I was doubtful about adding the unheated soy sauce mix to my chicken at the end, it was a great addition to drizzle over the chicken as well as the stir fried green beans and lettuce on the side.
