Tired of serving up dry roast chicken or wanting to add something new to the classic dish?

If you're looking to add a burst of flavor while keeping your chicken juicy and tender, there's one secret ingredient you need to try — chili crisp.

Chili crisp will effortlessly add more flavour to your roast and make it instantly more interesting.

Chili crisp is a delicious blend of oil and spices, packed with crispy bits of chilies, onions, garlic, and sometimes nuts or other seasonings.

This simple yet powerful ingredient can elevate your chicken, infusing it with layers of spicy goodness while also ensuring the meat stays tender and juicy.

The chili crisp will help you achieve that perfect, crispy skin that everyone loves.

To use chili crisp, start by rubbing it generously on the surface of your chicken.and for even more flavor, gently lift the skin and massage some of the chili crisp directly onto the meat.

This ensures the flavours really penetrate the chicken, giving every bite a punch of seasoning.

If your chili crisp has those crispy seasoning chunks, be sure to place most of them under the skin to prevent burning during roasting.

Then drizzle a little of the seasoned oil over the skin and sprinkle the skin with coarse salt to draw out excess moisture, which will help it crisp up beautifully in the oven.

Chili crisp works wonders not only on whole chickens but also on chicken parts like wings, thighs, and drumsticks.

To keep your chicken from becoming dry when reheating it, you can also add water or broth to give it that moisture and take away the dryness.

When reheating it in the oven, make sure you use tinfoil to capture the moisture and not let it evaporate when it's being heated up.

Chili crisp is an affordable, easy and effective way of taking your roast chicken to the next level.
