Spatchcocked Chicken with Chickpeas image

Spatchcocking -- splitting, then flattening a chicken -- yields a perfect roasted chicken in less time than a whole one takes. It also exposes more skin, which crisps up nicely at higher temperatures. Click here to learn how. Feel free to use a roasting pan or a large cast-iron or other heavy skillet.

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 spatchcocked chicken
Coarse salt and ground pepper
1 can (15.5 ounces) chickpeas, rinsed and drained
Fresh lime juice (for serving)
Fresh cilantro leaves (for serving)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 500 degrees. Season chicken with coarse salt and ground pepper and place, breast side up, in a pan. Roast 15 minutes. Remove from oven and add chickpeas to pan.
  • Roast chicken until juices run clear when pierced between breast and leg (an instant-read thermometer should read 165 degrees when inserted in thickest part of a thigh, avoiding bone), about 15 minutes. Let rest 5 minutes. Drizzle with fresh lime juice and sprinkle with fresh cilantro leaves before carving.

This dish was a disaster. The chicken was dry and overcooked, and the chickpeas were mushy.

I found this recipe to be a bit bland. I added some extra spices and it was much better.

This recipe was a little too spicy for me, but I still enjoyed it. I will definitely try it again with less chili powder.
