  2. Remove the baking tray from the oven, take off the aluminium foil, and use a spoon to pour the juices that have collected on the tray over the meat. Increase the temperature of the oven to 210℃ and place the uncovered chicken back in the oven. Let it cook for 15 minutes or until the skin turns golden-brown.
  3. Once the color is achieved and the skin becomes crispy remove the tray from the oven. Place the bird on a serving dish and once again drizzle the juices that have collected in the tray over it.
