To replicate this delicious dish at home, start by washing and drying the chicken thoroughly. Season it with salt, pepper, and chopped garlic, and refrigerate for at least two hours.

Once cooked and golden, baste the chicken with the juices during cooking to keep it moist and achieve a perfect color.
