This lemon thyme spatchcock chicken is a fantastic way to serve a roast chicken and a side of potatoes when entertaining.
It looks beautiful when presented all together on a platter, and it's a lot easier to carve at the table than a whole chicken. It's a sheet pan dinner idea that creates a main, a side, and a beautiful sauce all on one pan!

INGREDIENTS:
One 4-lb (1.8 kg) whole chicken
4 tbsp (60 ml) salted American butter, melted
3 tbsp (45 ml) chopped fresh thyme, separated
2 lemons
2 tsp (10 ml) kosher salt
Freshly crack pepper, for top too
Olive oil spray
! For Potatoes:
1.5 lbs (680 g) Large Yukon Gold Potatoes (about 4), peeled and cut in half
2 shallots, quartered
2 tbsp (30 ml) olive oil
1 tsp (5 ml) Herbs de Provence
1 garlic clove, minced
Kosher salt and freshly cracked pepper to taste
METHOD:
Preheat the oven to 375F (180C)
To the melted butter, add 2 tbsp (30 ml) of fresh thyme, 2 tsp (10 ml) of salt, freshly cracked pepper and 1 tbsp (15 ml) of lemon zest. Set aside.
Flip the chicken over on its breast side to expose the backbone.
Using kitchen shears cut alongside the backbone, on each side, and then remove it. Then flatten the chicken on a heavy bottom sheet pan.
Loosen the skin covering the legs and the breast meat.
Spoon the melted butter under the skin of the legs and breasts (about 1 tbsp per chicken part, reserving 1 1/2 tbsp for each breast).
Slice the zested lemon into 4-5 slices and place them under the chicken and set aside.
In a large bowl add the olive oil, herbs de Provence, garlic and salt and pepper. Whisk to combine.
Add the potatoes and shallots to the bowl and toss to combine.
Add the potatoes, cut side down, to the sheet pan. Then nestle the shallots around.
Slice the second lemon into 4-5 slices and place them on the sheet pan as well.
Spray the chicken with olive oil spray or 1 tsp (5 ml) of olive oil. Top with salt, freshly cracked pepper, and the remaining tablespoon of thyme.
Roast for 1 hour and 20-30 minutes.
Place the chicken on a large, deep serving platter, nestle the potatoes around the chicken, and top with the shallots and caramelized lemons.
Whisk the pan sauce together on the pan, and pour it over the chicken and potatoes.

Beth has saved me more than once. She has always been my go to for a lot of things including parties and holidays. The fact that I am nervous to do the cutting because I thought she was going to do it with a knife not scissors ✂️ which seems to be so much easier and a lot safer. Thank you Beth.

Ooooo, now there's something to start working on!
Oh. My. Gosh! That is just perfection! I love roast chicken, period. And I always include lemon and thyme, even if it's just I the cavity. Even more, I love roasted, spatchcocked chicken or chicken under a brick. This hits ALL the high spots for me, paired with those potatoes roasting in the fat and juices from the chicken and shallots! This is my love language! 😂😂😂 I'm almost satisfied just watching it. Almost! I think I need to order a chicken and potatoes (there goes the keto with the potatoes - so worth it)! This is something to look forward to next weekend!
Thank you for your beautiful recipe, Beth! Absolutely nobody does chicken as well as you do. I have loved every one of your chicken recipes that I've tried - maybe I'd better get cracking and whip up the ones I've missed... ha!
Aww thanks Lucinda! I'm so glad you enjoy them! Yes, roasting potatoes in the chicken fat is my love language too ha! :) Enjoy!
Yummmmm no other word required
I made this tonight, just for me! My chicken was a a little smaller and I used a lot more potatoes because I had them. It was so delicious. And I have lunch for a few days!
YAY! So glad it was a hit! And even better that you have leftovers I love when that happens!
I love all the recipes that you share. Your instructions are very easy to follow and understand!!
Beth I have never heard of a spatchcock chicken before til today. Very interesting and yes easy to do, but in my family we love the bones in the roast chicken especially the back so i have to find an alternative method for my chicken to lay flat. Thanks for the great tips.
I will tried today thank you greetings from Switzerland
Great ideas for roasting chicken. 👍❤️
Thank you 😊 so delicious too! :)
You make everything look so easy. I am definitely going to try this recipe.
Thank you for sharing
Please do! It’s such an easy one and so delicious too. Everybody always loves it!
i hope you never stop making videos, you’re truly the best recipe content creator there is
Hi Beth,
This looks so delicious. Sadly since the pandemic, whole chicken prices have stopped so many from buying.
Hopefully, fingers crossed, it will get better. I miss roasting the whole chicken rather than individual pieces. Tfs🙋🌹
This looks delicious ! Can’t wait to give it a try
I can't wait to try this - thank you for a simple and beautiful recipe!
So good to see you. I swear I could smell that chicken on this side of the screen. That looks absolutely delicious, fancy and easy. I definitely am going to to try this recipe.
Beth I love your baking recipes a lot . They are easy to follow. Could you bake an easy chocolate ombre cake. Love from Pakistan
Thank you I have been following your channel for quite sometime and have learned a fair bit. Take care
So glad to hear it! :) Thanks for all the support over the years!
Your cardigan is beautiful! You suit those colours so well! Can’t wait to settle in to watch this with my cup of tea! I watch you like Netflix haha xx

This looks so darned good Beth! Thank you for this wonderful recipe. There is nothing like shallots, love love them !!!
Right?! So true! Shallots are just the best! Especially when roasted with potatoes in the pan juices ha! SO good!!
This looks so delicious!!! I will be adding this to my recipes. TFS

Great ideal👍🏽
So much great info. Thankyou Beth. 🥰🇬🇧
You are so welcome! Glad it was helpful!!
Beth this looks delicious! Keep the great content coming...I love all of it! Are you going to go to France again this summer? I particularly like the French house/trips videos.
Yes I am! More French videos coming up this summer! Early July :). Stay tuned! So glad you enjoy them!
Thank you for sharing.
I love this -- I can't wait to make it. It looks gorgeous!
Yumm, looks so tasty, can't wait to try it!!
Hope you like it! :)
I ate this at a friend's house and loved it so much I wanted to make it but I was a little intimidated by the step of removing the backbone. Thank you so much for showing us how to do that. I feel like I could do this. I would be serving 10 (half adults and half children), do you think doubling the whole recipe would work for that?
I’ve always wanted to make a roast chicken but as someone who has no cooking skills I’m nervous. This looks amazing
Not to worry! You've come to the right place! It's super easy (and yummy!) you can do it. Buy the ingredients, replay the video as you make it, pausing where needed, and we'll cook it together! :)
This may be a weird thing to comment on but my grandmother used to wear a nail polish color very similar to yours. Her complexion was similar and it was her shade of nude, sometimes she’d go a little more pink like you have here and sometimes a little more brown. Both looked beautiful. Just reminded me of her. ❤
Ha! Aww it's funny how little things like that can remind us of sweet memories :) Yes I love to keep it in those nude-pink shades. Except for Christmas then I do love a little red polish now and again ha!
Beth, I love this recipe - it's so simple. Can I replace thyme with dry fennel?
Oh sure, you could use dried fennel really any herb like! 👍 yes that’s what I love about this recipe. It’s so easy and so delicious! 🤤
@@EntertainingWithBeth many thanks Beth... I've learnt so much from you... TQTQ
You forgot at what temperature the ki
