4

Recipe Notes:

For rich caramelization, brush a thin layer of glaze onto the chicken during the final minutes of cooking.

Allow enough marinade time (2–3 hours) to let flavors penetrate deeply, but avoid over-marinating if acids are included.

Use a quick broil finish at the end to lock in the glaze and create a lightly charred edge.

After cooking, give the chicken a brief resting time so juices settle and the glaze adheres evenly.
