Steps:
- Pat dry the whole chicken completely dry with a paper towel before adding seasoning. This helps create extra crispy skin when roasting.
- Place chicken breast-side down on a clean and dry chopping board (wearing disposable gloves helps with easy handling).
- Cut along the backbone in the middle with kitchen scissors and remove the backbone, which is about 1-inch wide.
- Make a small cut with a knife along the white cartilage that connects the breastbone and remove the breastbone by pulling it out through the cut.
- Turn the chicken over with the breast-side up and flatten it out . Tuck the wings under the chicken breasts.
- Pat dry the spatchcock chicken again to remove any excess liquid.
- In a small bowl, stir together one tablespoon olive oil, salt and pepper, until combined.
- Generously smear the seasoning mixture over the whole chicken inside and out and let it rest on a clean plate for at least 15 minutes. Make sure the seasoning covers the entire whole chicken including the inside cavity.
- Preheat the oven to 450F.
- Heat a cast-iron skillet on the stove for 5 minutes over medium high heat (or preheat the iron skillet in the oven for 5 minutes). Once the skillet is sizzling hot, sear the chicken by placing chicken breast side down in the hot skillet for 3-5 minutes, until skin gets a little crispy.
- Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake the chicken for 30 minutes until the skin on the breasts turns brown. You can add an oven-safe weight over the chicken such as a Dutch oven lid to promote browning.
- Remove the skillet from the oven and turn the chicken over with the breast side up. Tuck whole garlic cloves and sprigs of rosemary and thyme underneath the chicken to add flavour.
- Combine the remaining oil, chopped thyme and minced garlic in a small bowl and brush the seasoning mixture over the chicken breasts.
- Transfer the skillet back into the oven and continue to bake the chicken for another 10 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 165F.
- Remove the chicken from oven and place it on a large plate. Let the chicken rest for 15 minutes. Then, carve and serve.

Steps:
- Mix the chopped rosemary, garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 2 teaspoons salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper together in a small bowl to make a paste.
- Place the chickens on a sheet pan, skin side up, and loosen the skin from the meat with your fingers. Place 1/2 of the paste under the skin of each chicken. Rub any remaining paste on the outside and underside of the chickens.
- Turn the chicken skin side down and scatter the lemon slices and sprigs of rosemary over each chicken. Season with salt and pepper. Roll each chicken up, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
- Heat a grill with coals. Spread the coals out in 1 dense layer and brush the grill with oil. Unroll the chickens, place them on the grill and cook for 12 minutes on each side.
SPATCHCOCKED (BUTTERFLIED) ROAST CHICKEN RECIPE
Steps:
- Place oven rack in upper-middle position and preheat oven to 450°F (232°C). Using sharp kitchen shears, remove backbone from chicken and cut spine into 5 to 6 one-inch-long pieces. Set backbone aside. Flatten chicken by placing skin side up on a cutting board and applying firm pressure to breastbone. Transfer to a wire rack set in a foil-lined rimmed baking sheet. Position chicken so that breasts are aligned with center of baking sheet and legs are close to edge.
- If using herbs: using your fingers and starting from the neck end and working your way down towards the legs, gently separate chicken skin from the breast and thigh meat; be careful not to tear the skin. Carefully push the herbs under the skin, distributing them as evenly as possible all over the breast and thigh muscle.
- Combine 1 tablespoon (15g) kosher salt, 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper, and 1 teaspoon (5g) baking powder (if using) in a small bowl. Sprinkle all over chicken skin and cavity sides, then return to skin-up position. Drizzle chicken skin with 1 tablespoon (15ml) oil, rubbing to distribute evenly.
- Roast chicken until thickest part of breast close to bone registers 150°F (66°C) on an instant-read thermometer and joint between thighs and body registers at least 175°F (80°C), about 45 minutes.
- Meanwhile, heat remaining 1 tablespoon (15ml) oil in a small saucepan over high heat until shimmering. Add chicken backbone and cook, stirring frequently, until well browned, about 3 minutes. Add onion, carrot, and celery and cook, stirring frequently, until beginning to brown, about 3 minutes. Add bay leaf and deglaze with vermouth or sherry and 1 cup (240ml) water, using a wooden spoon to scrape up any browned bits from bottom of pan. Reduce heat to maintain simmer and cook for 20 minutes. Strain out solids and return liquid to pan. Boil over medium-high heat until approximately 1/3 cup (80ml) remains, about 7 minutes. Whisk in soy sauce, butter, and lemon juice off heat. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Remove chicken from oven, transfer to cutting board, tent loosely with foil, and allow to rest 5 minutes before carving. Serve with hot jus.

Steps:
- Dissolve salt and sugar in 2 quarts cold water in large container. Immerse chicken and refrigerate until fully seasoned, about 1 hour. Meanwhile, adjust oven rack to lower-middle position and heat oven to 500°.
- Line bottom of broiler pan with foil and spray with nonstick vegetable cooking spray. Remove chicken from brine and rinse thoroughly under cold running water. Following illustrations 1 through 6, butterfly chicken, flatten breastbone, apply flavored butter (if using), and position chicken on broiler pan rack; thoroughly pat dry with paper towels.
- Toss potatoes with 1 tablespoon oil, salt and pepper to taste in medium bowl. Spread potatoes in even layer in foil-lined broiler pan bottom. Place broiler pan rack with chicken on top. Rub chicken with remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons oil and sprinkle with pepper.
- Roast chicken until spotty brown, about 20 minutes. Rotate pan and continue to roast until skin has crisped and turned a deep brown and an instant-read internal thermometer registers 160° in thickest part of breast, 20 to 25 minutes longer. Transfer chicken to cutting board. With potholders, remove broiler pan rack; soak up excess grease from potatoes with several sheets paper towels. Remove foil liner with potatoes from broiler pan bottom and invert foil and potatoes onto cookie sheet or second cutting board. Carefully peel back foil, using a metal spatula to help scrape potatoes off foil as needed. With additional paper towels, pat off remaining grease.
A VERY UNIQUE BUTTERFLIED ROASTED CHICKEN DISH
This is certainly not your average roasted chicken. This I think, came from a Cooking Light or possibly Southern Living magazine, those were the two magazines I used to get (maybe 5-6 years ago), but all I have is a very poor black and white copy with my hand written notes. But when I find a recipe I like - I rate it 2 ways. 1-5 for taste and a "check mark" if I have actually made the dish, and an "X" if I haven't. This recipe had a 5 for great taste and a check.Unfortunately, it was just one of those recipes that lost in my file which I have digging through lately. It is a little bit of work, but take advantage of your butcher. I just ask mine at my local grocery store to butterfly my chicken so I don't have to. Now, it does take about 1 1/2 hours to roast and 1/2 hour to prepare, so I wouldn't suggest a weeknight, but it is a great weekend meal. Serve with a nice fresh green salad, and my warm blue cheese vinaigrette.

Steps:
- Chicken -- Set out the chicken from the refrigerator on the counter to come to room temp or to take the chill off. Rub with olive oil, salt and pepper on both sides and just let it hang out what you prepare the vegetables.
- Vegetables -- In a medium saute pan on medium heat, add the 1/4 cup olive oil and butter, celery, leeks, onions and garlic and cook until soft and tender, about 5 minutes. Then stir in the red pepper flakes, thyme, parsley, salt and pepper and the lemon zest and cook just another minute. Remove from the heat.
- Roasting -- Now, in a large oven proof saute pan, I use my 12" cast iron for this, but any large saute pan will work. Drizzle the 1 tablespoon of olive oil on the bottom of the pan and then add in the bread slices. Make sure to cover the bottom of the pan well.
- Then spoon over all the vegetables over the bread slices. Be sure to cover each slice has some of the vegetables. Also pour in any extra juice in the pan, don't let that flavor go to waste.
- Top with the chicken, skin side up, already seasoned. Drizzle the lemon juice over the chicken and roast.
- Bake -- Cook in a 375 degree oven for 1 1/2 hours until the skin is golden brown and the internal temperature is 160-165. Remove when done and cover with foil to let rest 10 minutes before serving.
- Serve -- Remove the chicken and cup up into serving pieces and put back in the pan with the stuffing and vegetables. Serve, just family style right from the pan. Add a good salad and you have an amazing chicken dinner. I wish I could take credit for this recipe but can't.

- Place the chicken with the breasts facing up. Use a sharp kitchen shears to cut along one side of the backbone from end to end. Cut along the other side of the backbone, completely removing about about 1 inch wide portion of the spine. Turn the chicken over and use your hands to press down firmly, flattening the chicken until you hear the crack of the breastbone. Optionally, you can tuck the wings.
- Lay the butterflied chicken on a parchment or foil lined sheet pan. Pat it dry with a few paper towels, then rub it all over with 2 Tablespoons of oil and seasonings, using your fingers to rub it under the skin too. Let the chicken marinate in the seasonings for at least 30 minutes, but you can marinate the chicken for up to 24 hours in the refrigerator.
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit. Meanwhile, wash the vegetables. Remove the large stems from the Brussels sprouts and cut into halves. Cut the potatoes into quarters. Cut the lemon into quarters. Transfer the vegetables to a bowl, and toss with the remaining oil and season them lightly with salt and pepper. Spread the vegetables and lemon pieces on the sheet pan.
- Set the sheet pan in the oven and roast for 40 minutes, using a meat thermometer to test the internal temperature has reached 165 F at the thickest part of the thigh. Allow the chicken to rest for about 5 minutes before slicing.
