Spatchcocked Chicken with Potatoes 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 7

1 spatchcocked chicken
Coarse salt and ground pepper
4 thin lemon slices
4 sprigs thyme
1/2 pound new potatoes, quartered
1 yellow onion, cut into 8 wedges
2 teaspoons olive oil

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 500 degrees. Season chicken with salt and ground pepper. Using your fingers, loosen skin from breast meat; tuck lemon slices and 2 springs thyme between skin and meat. Place chicken, breast side up, in a pan. In a bowl, toss potatoes, onion wedges, and 2 sprigs thyme with olive oil; season with salt and pepper. Add 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 30 minutes. Let rest 5 minutes before carving.

This recipe was easy to follow and the chicken was delicious! The potatoes were a bit bland, so I would recommend adding some more seasoning to them next time.

I followed the recipe exactly and the chicken turned out a little dry. I think I would try brining the chicken next time.

I've tried many spatchcocked chicken recipes, but this one is by far the best. The chicken was cooked to perfection, and the potatoes were roasted to a golden brown. My family loved it!
