ROASTED SPATCHCOCK CHICKEN
When you have a famous chef for a dad, you learn how to enjoy good food early on - and if you're Madeline and Anna Zakarian, you learn how to cook it, too. The daughters of Geoffrey Zakarian have been in training for years, helping with family dinners and assisting Dad with cooking demos at press events, on Good Morning America and on his Food Network show The Kitchen. Now the 13- and 11-year-old girls are releasing their first cookbook, The Family That Cooks Together, a collection of 85 recipes that they love making at home. Don't expect chicken fingers: These young chefs have grown up learning to appreciate dishes like linguine with fresh clams and strawberry soufflé. Anna promises that they're not trying to intimidate anyone; the idea is to show kids that fancy-sounding food can be really easy to make. For this spatchcock chicken, they use a dad-approved shortcut and get the chicken split open at the butcher. Then they just roast it and serve it with rice for a quick dinner. "We want to show people of all ages that you can cook delicious things," Madeline says.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400˚ F. Rinse the chicken, pat dry and rub all over with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil. Generously season on both sides with salt and pepper.
- Heat a large cast-iron or other ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil. When the oil is hot, place the chicken, skin side down, in the pan. Cook until the skin starts to crisp on the edges and the color is golden brown. Flip the chicken over with tongs, taking care not to splatter oil toward yourself, and add the garlic, rosemary and thyme around the chicken in the pan. Squeeze a lemon half over the top and place both lemon halves in the pan, cut sides down.
- Transfer the pan to the oven and roast the chicken (skin side up) for 30 to 35 minutes, until a meat thermometer registers 155˚ F when inserted in the thickest part of a breast. Let rest for about 10 minutes, then carve and serve with pan juices.
SPATCHCOCK ROASTED CHICKEN
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
- Lay the chicken on a cutting board breast-side down, with the legs closest to you. Use kitchen shears to cut out the backbone. Open the chicken like a book to reveal the ribs and sternum. Use a chef's knife to score the sternum vertically down the center, then use your hands and body weight to crack the sternum and flatten the breasts and rib cage. Season the chicken all over with 2 teaspoons salt and a generous amount of pepper.
- Lay the thyme sprigs in the center of a rimmed baking sheet and place the chicken on top, skin-side up. Roast the chicken until the skin is golden brown and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh registers 165 degrees F, about 40 minutes.
- Let the chicken rest 5 minutes before serving.
SPATCHCOCK ROTISSERIE QUAIL WITH SWEET MARINADE
Whole grilled or fried quail on a stick is a popular street food in Laos, Thailand and Vietnam. In my family, quail was only served on special occasions. Mom would marinate them, then slowly roast them over an open fire hardwood grill and we would pick the small meat off the bones and dip it into the Hmong hot pepper sauce kua txob. To round out the amazing flavors, we would make sure there was plenty of sticky rice.

Steps:
- For the sticky soy glaze: Mix the sweet soy sauce, vinegar, oyster sauce, garlic, ginger, gochugaru and 1 teaspoon salt in a large bowl and set aside.
- For the quail: Lay 1 quail on your cutting board with the breast facedown and the backbone facing up. Starting at the tail end, cut along the backbone using kitchen shears. Turn the quail over on the cutting board so the cut side is on the board and the breast side is facing up. Using the palm of your hand, lightly press down on the quail until you hear a crack and the quail rests flat on the cutting board. Repeat with the remaining 7 quail. Season both sides with salt and pepper. Add the quail to the sticky soy glaze, cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours and up to overnight.
- Set up a hardwood fire and let it burn to low-burning embers (see Cook's Note). Set up your grate for direct and indirect heat cooking.
- Remove the quail from the marinade and reserve the marinade for basting. Use 1 bamboo skewer to pierce through the quail's left thigh and breast. Use a second skewer to pierce through the right thigh and breast. Repeat with the remaining 7 quail. Place each quail skin-side down on the perimeter of the grill grate over direct heat, making sure that the skewers are not on the grate. Grill, flipping every 1 to 2 minutes, until the quail is golden brown and cooked through, about 10 minutes. Brush the cooked quail with the reserved marinade and cook until the glaze is dry and sticky, 3 to 5 minutes more.
- Serve the quail with the Tiger Bite Hot Sauce, sticky rice and grilled vegetables.
- Set up a hardwood fire and let it burn to low-burning embers (see Cook's Note). Set up your grate for direct and indirect heat cooking.
- Brush the garlic, chiles and shallot with oil and sprinkle with salt. Place the garlic and chiles on a small baking sheet or boat made with heavy duty aluminum foil. Place the tray and the shallot, cut-side down, on the grill grate over indirect heat. Grill until soft and tender, 3 to 5 minutes per side. Transfer to a cutting board. Stem the roasted chiles and quarter the shallots.
- Using a mortar and pestle, combine the chiles, garlic, shallots, salt and pepper into a coarse paste. Add the cilantro and combine until it is broken into small pieces. Stir in the fish sauce, oyster sauce, lime juice and 2 to 3 tablespoons oil. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Line a large rimmed baking sheet with foil.
- Place chicken, breast side down, on a work surface. Starting at the tail end, cut along both sides of backbone with kitchen shears. Remove backbone. Grabbing hold of both sides of the chicken, open it like a book. Turn breast side up. Push down on each side of breast with your hands until you hear it crack. Flatten chicken and transfer to one short end of the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the second chicken.
- Combine salt, tarragon, paprika, and pepper in a small bowl. Stir in oil. Run your fingers under chicken skin and rub tarragon paste under skin. Slide lemon slices under skin, in a single layer.
- Roast until skin is crisp and an instant-read thermometer inserted into thickest part of breast reads 165 degrees F, about 35 minutes. Let stand 5 minutes before cutting each chicken into 8 pieces.

- What Does Spatchcock Mean? What is spatchcock chicken? Scholars are unsure of the exact origin of the term, but most agree it dates back to 18th-century Ireland.
- Prepping the Chicken. Before you begin the spatchcocking process, you need to prep the chicken. Remove any neck parts and gizzards. Freeze for other uses (such as homemade chicken stock or chicken soup) or discard.
- Cutting Along the Backbone. The first step to flattening the chicken is to remove the backbone. You can use either a pair of poultry shears or kitchen scissors for this step.
- Cutting the Other Side. Next, cut along the left side of the backbone, just as you did on the right side. Freeze this removed backbone piece for future chicken stock or discard.
- Breaking the Breastbone. To flatten the bird, you need to break the breastbone. To do this, press down on each of the wings, at the same time until the bone cracks.
- Removing the Wing Tips. Turn the chicken over so that it lays flat. Because the wing-tips usually burn and become inedible during the cooking process, it is best to snip them off.
- Your Spatchcock Chicken. Your spatchcocked chicken is now ready to be seasoned and cooked using any whole chicken recipe. Be sure to properly clean your cutting board after this process in order to avoid cross-contamination that could lead to foodborne illnesses.
