Steps

Read instructions and get ready to cook

1
Preheat the oven

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).

2
Prepare the chicken

Place the whole chicken breast-side down on a cutting board. Using kitchen shears, cut along both sides of the backbone to remove it. Flip the chicken over and press down on the breastbone to flatten the bird

3
Prepare the seasoning

Mince the garlic cloves. Remove the leaves from the rosemary and thyme stems and finely chop them. In a small bowl, mix the minced garlic, chopped rosemary, chopped thyme, olive oil, salt, and black pepper.

4
Season the chicken

Rub the seasoning mixture all over the chicken, making sure to coat both sides evenly.

5
Roast the chicken

Place the seasoned spatchcock chicken on a roasting pan or baking sheet, skin-side up. Roast in the preheated oven for 45 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) in the thickest part of the thigh.

6
Let the chicken rest

Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before carving. This allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring a moist and tender result.

7
Carve and serve

Carve the Roasted Spatchcock Chicken into desired pieces and arrange them on a serving platter. Serve hot, accompanied by your favorite side dishes.
