SPATCHCOCKED CHICKEN WITH HERB BUTTER



Spatchcocked Chicken With Herb Butter image

Spatchcocking (also called butterflying) a chicken helps it to roast more evenly and much more quickly, giving you perfectly tender, juicy meat with golden skin. This one is slathered with herb butter, making it extra fragrant. (If you have any herb butter left over, freeze it, then use it on steaks or fish or roasted potatoes.) Pulling out a well-flavored compound butter is one of those cheffy moves that makes almost everything taste better.

Time 3h

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/4 cup unsalted butter (1/2 stick), at room temperature
4 garlic cloves, finely grated or minced
2 teaspoons minced fresh parsley leaves
2 teaspoons minced mixed fresh herbs - any mix of mint, oregano and marjoram
1 1/2 teaspoons minced fresh thyme leaves
1/2 teaspoon minced fresh rosemary leaves
1 3/4 teaspoons fine sea salt
1 teaspoon herbes de Provence
1/2 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground white pepper
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 (3 1/2- to 4-pound) chicken, spatchcocked and dried with paper towels (see Note)
Lemon wedges, for garnish

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, mash together the butter, garlic, parsley, mixed herbs, thyme, rosemary, salt, herbes de Provence, lemon zest, white pepper and black pepper. Rub three-quarters of the mixture all over the chicken, including under the skin. (Reserve the remaining herb butter for serving.) Place the chicken, breast-up, on a rimmed baking sheet and refrigerate it, uncovered, for at least 2 hours and up to overnight.
  • Heat oven to 450 degrees. Roast chicken until it is just cooked through (the meat will no longer be pink and the juices will run clear; an instant read thermometer inserted into the thigh will read 165 degrees), 40 to 55 minutes. Let the chicken rest on a cutting board for 10 minutes before carving. Serve it topped with the reserved herb butter and lemon wedges.

GRILLED CHICKEN BREASTS STUFFED WITH HERB BUTTER

Provided by Mark Bittman

Categories     dinner, easy, weekday, main course

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) butter, softened
2 tablespoons chopped fresh tarragon, basil, chives or other herb
4 bone-in chicken breasts
Salt
freshly ground black pepper
Extra virgin olive oil as needed
Lemon wedges for serving

Steps:

  • Prepare charcoal or gas grill; heat should be medium-high and rack about 6 inches from fire; keep part of grill cool for indirect cooking. In a small bowl, use a spoon or fork to combine butter and herbs, or use a mini food processor.
  • With sharp-bladed knife, cut a 2- to 3-inch slit in deepest part of chicken. Fill with as much herb butter as possible; rub some under skin as well. Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper and brush with oil.
  • When grill is ready, put chicken skin-side up on cool side of grill. After some fat has been rendered, turn chicken; if it flares up, move to an even cooler part of fire or turn so skin side is up again. When skin has lost its raw look and most of the fat has been rendered, after 20 minutes or so, move chicken directly over fire. Cook, turning now and then, until both sides are browned and flesh is firm and cooked through, 5 to 10 minutes longer. Serve hot, warm or at room temperature, with lemon wedges.

3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
4 bone-in chicken breast halves with skin
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
