For extra crispy skin, pat the chicken dry with paper towels before seasoning. Feel free to experiment with other herbs and spices. Rosemary, thyme, or garlic powder would also be delicious. Make sure your kitchen shears are sharp for easier backbone removal.

Aug 5, 2024This recipe is a game-changer! The chicken was so moist and the skin was perfectly crispy. I'll never roast a whole chicken any other way!

Jun 10, 2024I was intimidated by the spatchcocking process at first, but the directions were so clear and easy to follow. The lemon slices under the skin added a wonderful brightness to the dish.
