Spatchcocked Chicken with Tomatoes 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 8

1 spatchcocked chicken
Coarse salt and ground pepper
3 unpeeled garlic cloves, smashed
1 pint cherry tomatoes, pierced with a pairing knife
1 teaspoon olive oil
1/2 cup dry white wine
1/4 cup water
1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, torn

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 500 degrees. Season chicken with coarse salt and ground pepper and place, breast side up, in a pan along with garlic cloves. With the tip of a paring knife, pierce the cherry tomatoes. Add to pan and drizzle tomatoes with olive oil; season with salt and pepper. Pour dry white wine and water into pan.
  • Roast chicken until juices run clear when pierced between breast and leg (an instant-read thermometer should read 165 degrees when inserted into thickest part of a thigh, avoiding bone), about 30 minutes. Let rest 5 minutes. Sprinkle with fresh basil leaves, torn if large, before carving.

This recipe was a hit with my family! The chicken was tender and juicy, and the tomatoes were perfectly roasted. We loved the crispy skin on the chicken too. Will definitely be making this again soon.

Not a fan. The chicken was dry and the tomatoes were bland. I won't be making this again.

Meh. I wasn't impressed with this recipe. The chicken was bland and the tomatoes were too acidic. I won't be making this again.

Not bad! The chicken was a bit dry, but the tomatoes were delicious. I might try brining the chicken next time to see if that helps.
