Cooking Tips

• Make sure to spatchcock the chicken properly to ensure even cooking.
• Basting the chicken with the glaze during cooking will help to enhance the flavor and keep the chicken moist.
• Letting the chicken rest before serving allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful meat.

Storage and Serving

• Leftover chicken can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• To reheat, place the chicken in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 15-20 minutes, or until heated through.
• Serve the Honey Soy Glazed Spatchcock Chicken as a main dish with steamed rice and vegetables, or slice it and use it in sandwiches or salads.
