How to Cook Your Flattened Hen

Our flattened hens are pre-marinated and ready to cook! Follow these simple instructions for perfectly juicy, flavorful chicken every time.

Oven Method

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C)
  2. Place chicken skin side up on a parchment-lined baking sheet
  3. Bake until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C)
  4. Cooking time: approximately 30-40 minutes depending on the size of your chicken

Pro Tip: For extra crispy skin, broil for the last 2-3 minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning.

BBQ/Grill Method

  1. Preheat your BBQ to 400°F (200°C)
  2. Place chicken directly on the grill, skin side down
  3. Grill for approximately 10 minutes
  4. Flip chicken skin side up and continue cooking until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C)
  5. Total cooking time: approximately 30-40 minutes depending on the size of your chicken

Pro Tip: Use indirect heat if your chicken is browning too quickly. Move it to a cooler part of the grill and close the lid.

Important Food Safety Tips

  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure your chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) at the thickest part.
  • Let the chicken rest for 5-10 minutes after cooking before slicing
  • Cooking times may vary based on your oven or grill and the size of your chicken
  • Never partially cook chicken and finish later
