Spatchcocked Chicken with Chickpeas image

Spatchcocking -- splitting, then flattening a chicken -- yields a perfect roasted chicken in less time than a whole one takes. It also exposes more skin, which crisps up nicely at higher temperatures. Click here to learn how. Feel free to use a roasting pan or a large cast-iron or other heavy skillet.

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 spatchcocked chicken
Coarse salt and ground pepper
1 can (15.5 ounces) chickpeas, rinsed and drained
Fresh lime juice (for serving)
Fresh cilantro leaves (for serving)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 500 degrees. Season chicken with coarse salt and ground pepper and place, breast side up, in a pan. Roast 15 minutes. Remove from oven and add chickpeas to pan.
  • Roast chicken until juices run clear when pierced between breast and leg (an instant-read thermometer should read 165 degrees when inserted in thickest part of a thigh, avoiding bone), about 15 minutes. Let rest 5 minutes. Drizzle with fresh lime juice and sprinkle with fresh cilantro leaves before carving.

This recipe was a disaster! The chicken was overcooked and the chickpeas were burnt. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

I thought this recipe was just okay. The chicken was a bit dry and the chickpeas were a bit mushy. I wouldn't make this again.

This recipe was a bit bland for my taste. I added some extra spices and it was much better. The chickpeas were a nice addition.

This recipe is a keeper! I've tried it with different types of chicken (bone-in, boneless, skinless) and it always turns out great. The chickpeas are always cooked perfectly, too. I usually serve it with rice or quinoa.
