Prepare and boil the chestnuts
When you buy chestnuts, soak them in water to clean, discarding any rotten ones and those that float to the surface. Use a knife to cut a line down the middle along the length of each chestnut.
Note: Cutting the skin of the chestnuts will make them easier to peel when eating.
Put the chestnuts in a pot, cover with water, and boil for about 10 minutes until cooked, then remove and let drain.
Note: If you use unsalted butter or margarine for cooking, add 1 teaspoon of salt when boiling to enhance the flavor of the chestnuts.

Roast the chestnuts
Choose a thick-bottomed pan and place it on the stove, add the chestnuts and roast, stirring continuously until the chestnuts dry evenly, begin to smell fragrant, and the shells crack open, then reduce the heat to low.
Add the butter to roast with the chestnuts, roasting on low heat so that the chestnuts absorb the butter and do not burn.
Roast until the chestnuts are fully absorbed with butter, dry, then take out to enjoy hot or let cool and store in a sealed container for later use.

The chestnuts are coated with shiny honey, fragrant. When eaten, the sweet aroma of honey blends with the rich, buttery taste of the chestnuts, creating an incredibly delightful snack.
How to choose good chestnuts:
- Fresh chestnuts in nature usually last about 10 days, so when buying, they often include some that spoil early. When purchasing, base your choice on color, selecting chestnuts that look fresh, shiny brown, especially those with fine hair and this layer of fine hair still looks fresh.
- Good chestnuts when peeled have a distinctive aroma, not blackened at the tip, and the nutmeat is off-white. When shaken, if there is no sound, it means the chestnut is still fresh and good.
How to store chestnuts:
- Fresh chestnuts that you haven’t used all of should be placed in a box or tray, and put in the freezer if you want to keep them for more than 10 days, but the flavor of the chestnuts will not be as good as when they were fresh. If it’s less than 10 days, take them out of the plastic bag and put them in a tray in the cool section of the refrigerator.
- Chestnuts after processing should be stored at room temperature in a cool place if kept for less than 3 days. If stored for more than 3 days, let them cool, place them in a tray or box, and put them in the cool section of the refrigerator; when you want to eat them, take them out to roast again or put them in the microwave for about 30 seconds.
