Frequently Asked Questions

What can I use as a substitute for red bell pepper paste if I can't find it?

You can substitute red bell pepper paste with roasted red pepper puree or even regular tomato paste mixed with a bit of paprika for a similar flavor profile.

How should I store leftover butterflied oven roasted chicken?

Leftover chicken should be cooled to room temperature and then stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It can be kept for up to 3-4 days.

What should I do if my chicken skin doesn't get crispy?

If the chicken skin isn't crispy, make sure to pat it dry with paper towels before applying the marinade. Additionally, you can broil the chicken for the last few minutes of cooking to help crisp up the skin.
