  Marinate the chicken

  Let the sauce mixture cool slightly, then pour it into a bowl with the chicken, mixing to ensure the seasoning is evenly absorbed.

  Then, cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator for about 2 hours before roasting.

  Tip: To allow the chicken to absorb the seasoning evenly, turn the chicken every hour.

  Grilling chicken

  While waiting for the chicken to absorb the spices, you should stabilize the oven temperature at 250 degrees Celsius for 10 minutes.

  Next, place the chicken in the oven at 200 degrees Celsius for about 15 minutes, applying another layer of marinade sauce.

  After that, cover the oven and increase the grilling temperature to 230 degrees Celsius for an additional 5 minutes, then flip the chicken over, apply more marinade sauce, and grill for about 15 more minutes to finish.

  Finally, place the grilled chicken on a plate, and you’re done!
