CHICKEN ROCKEFELLER
This is a great chicken recipe using a whole chicken, butterflied. I'm a big fan of "whole chicken" recipes, because I can usually get these for a bargain price. This recipe combines the humble chicken with another of my favorites, spinach.

Steps:
- Drain spinach; press between paper towels to remove excess moisture. Combine the spinach and the next 5 ingredients. Stir well, and set aside.
- Remove the giblets and neck from the chicken. Reserve for other uses. Place the chicken on a work surface, breast side up. Cut completely through the breast bone. Turn the chicken over; flatten the chicken back, breaking the breast and rib bones. (I can usually get the butcher at my grocery store to do this for me!).
- Turn the chicken breast side up. Starting at the neck cavity, loosen the skin from the breast and drumsticks by inserting one hand, palm side down. Gently push your hand beneath the skin against the meat to loosen the skin, being careful not to tear the skin. Spoon the spinach mixture into the pockets beneath the skin.
- Place the chicken, breast side up, in a roasting pan. Combine the olive oil, oregano, rosemary, and thyme; brush over the chicken.
- Bake, uncovered at 375 degrees for 1 hour or until the chicken is done.

Tips:
- For the best results, use fresh spinach leaves. If you can't find fresh spinach, you can use frozen spinach that has been thawed and squeezed dry.
- If you don't have Pernod, you can use another anise-flavored liqueur, such as anisette or ouzo.
- If you don't have a food processor, you can chop the spinach and herbs by hand.
- To make sure the chicken is cooked through, use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature has reached 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Serve the chicken immediately with your favorite sides, such as rice, pasta, or vegetables.
