We present a comprehensive dynamical analysis of a chaotic chemical model referred to as the autocatalator, when subject to a periodic administration of one substrate. Our investigation encompasses the dynamical characterization of both unforced and forced systems utilizing isospikes and largest Lyapunov exponents-based parameter planes, bifurcation diagrams, and analysis of complex oscillations. Additionally, we present a phase diagram showing the effect of the period and amplitude of the forcing signal on the system's behavior. Furthermore, we show how the landscapes of parameter planes are altered in response to forcing application. This analysis contributes to a deeper understanding of the intricate dynamics induced by the periodic forcing of a chaotic system.
