Ingredients
1 whole chicken, 3 and 1/2 to 4 pounds
1 and 1/2 to 2 pounds yellow potatoes (optional)
salt, to taste
crushed red pepper flakes
freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon sweet paprika
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon dried oregano
For the herbed butter:
4 tablespoons melted butter
2 tablespoons olive oil
3-4 garlic cloves, grated
2 lemons, juiced
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Preheat oven to 425 °F, 220 °C.
In a small bowl prepare the herbed butter. Combine the melted butter, oil, salt, lemon juice, and oregano and mix well to combine.
Place the chicken in a 10 inch cast iron skillet pan. Place a tablespoon of the herbed butter, salt, cumin powder, and oregano inside the cavity of the chicken.
To spatchcock the chicken: using either a sharp knife or kitchen scissors, carefully cut down the sides of the backbone (both sides). Remove the backbone and save it in a freezer-safe bag to make stock. Cut the breastbone either with the knife or by flipping the chicken over and applying pressure to the breast until you hear a crack and the chicken flattens.
Loosen the skin from the breast and divide the herbed butter under the skin on both sides.
Drizzle some olive oil on top and season with salt, pepper, paprika, cumin, and coriander.
Place in the oven and bake for 45-55 minutes.
The chicken is fully cooked when the internal temperature reaches 165 °F.
Remove from the oven and allow the chicken to rest for 10-15 minutes so that the juices redistribute.
This step is important. Cutting into the chicken as soon as it comes out of the oven will cause all of its juices to run out leaving you with a dry chicken.
Garnish with fresh parsley and lemon wedges. Enjoy! Kali Orexi
Notes
For the Potatoes:. Wash and dry the potatoes. Quarter them and place in a large bowl. Put all of the seasonings, oil, and lemon juice on the potato quarters and mix well to coat. Arrange the potatoes around the chicken. Do not waste any of the seasoning that is at the bottom of the mixing bowl. Pour it all over the potatoes.

I'm convinced that spatchcocking is the only way to properly cook a whole chicken. Since it's just the wife and I, sometimes I'll pick up the game hens on sale, at about two pounds, half a spatchcocked hen is the perfect portion size, and half a bird on a plate makes an impressive presentation. Next one I cook Ill try this recipe, with the potatoes, since there will be room in the pan 🙂.
Since I learned about spatchcock chicken, I really prefer it cooked this way!!
That came out fantastic! Though if your sweet paprika doesn't bring any flavor you might want to try a different brand, because it should.
Absolutely!
