How to spatchcock a chicken:

This is very easy to do with either kitchen scissors or a very sharp knife. Cut out the spine and save it in the freezer to make stock. Then, flip the chicken around so that it is breast side up and press on the breast bone to crack it so that the chicken lays flat. That’s it! You’ve spatchcocked a chicken.

This time, I roasted the spine along with the chicken and potatoes because I’ve thrown away enough to know that I forget that they’re in my freezer. 😂

For maximum flavor marinate the chicken overnight in the refrigerator and then allow it to come to room temperature before roasting. The marinade has plenty of flavor if you’re making it last minute but, marinating the chicken ahead of time will make it even better.

• Preheat the oven to 425 °F, 220 °C.
• spatchcock the chicken and marinate it.
• slice the potatoes, onion, and bell peppers and place them in a mixing bowl. Season and add them to the baking tray along with the chicken.
• Roast the chicken and potatoes for 55 minutes or until the potatoes are tender and the chicken has reached an internal temperature of 165 °F.
