Marinate the chicken

Arrange the chicken on the June Pan
Set the June Roasting Rack in the June Pan. Remove the chicken from the marinade and place the chicken breast-side up on the roasting rack. Wipe away any excess ginger, garlic, or chiles that remain on the chicken, as they may burn during cooking.
