1 bunch spring onions, trimmed and halved lengthways
3 tbsp AYAM™ Teriyaki Sauce
15g butter, melted
Good pinch of white pepper
Olive oil (or natural cooking oil), for drizzling
Method:
To butterfly the chicken, place the breast-side down on your board. Using kitchen scissors, cut down one side of the backbone, then the other (reserve the backbone for stock if desired).
Flip the chicken over so it's breast-side up. Press firmly on the breastbone with the heel of your hand until you hear and feel a crack to flatten. Place into a bowl and add the teriyaki sauce and white pepper. Massage the sauce into the meat, then marinate in the fridge for 3-4 hours or overnight.
Preheat the oven to 190°C.
Remove chicken from the marinade and pat dry. Arrange the onions on a tray and drizzle them with a little oil. Place chicken on top of the onions. Brush the butter on top.
Roast the chicken for 14-20 minutes to form a golden crust. Turn the heat down to 160°C and cover loosely with foil. Cook for a further 40-45 minutes.
