Spatchcock Chicken - Gracious Eats

Ingredients

• 1 spatchcocked chicken (ask your butcher to do this!)
• Olive Oil
• salt
• black pepper
• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees
• Place chicken skin side up on a foil-lined baking sheet on top of a wire rack.
• Tuck the chicken wings behind the head.
• Pat the chicken super super dry with a paper towel.
• Cover the entire chicken in olive oil
• Generously season with salt and pepper on both sides
• Roast for 1 – 1.5 hours skin side up until cooked through, the skin is crispy and the chicken has an internal temperature of 165 degrees fahrenheit.
• Let the chicken rest for at least 10 minutes so all the juices don’t flood out. Cut and serve it! Yup, that’s it.
• Really that’s it! You love to see it.
