Categories     Whole Chicken

Time 1h5m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 1/2 lbs chicken (or 1 whole broiler-fryer, cut into parts)
1/4 cup Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup orange juice
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
2 teaspoons white wine vinegar
1 teaspoon minced fresh thyme
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Using poultry shears or sharp knife, split the chicken along the backbone, leaving the breastbone intact, a preparation technique known as spatchcocking.
  • Flatten the chicken by pressing down on it firmly.
  • In a shallow, glass baking dish, mix together all ingredients for the marinade. Add chicken, rubbing marinade over entire surface.
  • Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 20 minutes or up to 1 hour.
  • While chicken is marinating, prepare coals for the grill. Grill chicken over medium-hot coals for 30 to 35 minutes, until a thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the thigh registers 170 degrees F.
  • Discard remaining marinade.
  • While chicken is grilling, whisk together all ingredients for vinaigrette in a small, glass or nonstick saucepan.
  • Transfer the grilled chicken to a cutting board and let cool for 5 minutes.
  • Over low heat, warm vinaigrette, whisking well.
  • Carve the chicken and pour vinaigrette into a gravy pitcher. Serve chicken warm and pass vinaigrette separately.

SPATCHCOCK CHICKEN

Spatchcocking makes for a bird with super crisp skin and moist meat, in about half the time it takes to roast a whole bird.

Time 50m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 (3 1/2) pound whole chickens, wingtips removed
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon dried tarragon
1 teaspoon paprika
¼ teaspoon black pepper
4 teaspoons olive oil
2 lemons, thinly sliced and seeded

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Line a large rimmed baking sheet with foil.
  • Place chicken, breast side down, on a work surface. Starting at the tail end, cut along both sides of backbone with kitchen shears. Remove backbone. Grabbing hold of both sides of the chicken, open it like a book. Turn breast side up. Push down on each side of breast with your hands until you hear it crack. Flatten chicken and transfer to one short end of the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the second chicken.
  • Combine salt, tarragon, paprika, and pepper in a small bowl. Stir in oil. Run your fingers under chicken skin and rub tarragon paste under skin. Slide lemon slices under skin, in a single layer.
  • Roast until skin is crisp and an instant-read thermometer inserted into thickest part of breast reads 165 degrees F, about 35 minutes. Let stand 5 minutes before cutting each chicken into 8 pieces.

GRILLED SPATCHCOCKED CHICKEN

Spatchcocking (or butterflying) lets you grill a whole bird, because it enables you to cook the meat evenly. If your grill is big enough, double the recipe. Leftovers are delicious over salad.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Chicken

Time 8h

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 medium onion, peeled and cut in half
1 large garlic clove, peeled
1/3 cup packed fresh herbs, such as rosemary, thyme, parsley, and sage leaves
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 lemon, zest removed in strips with a peeler
1 chicken (3 1/2 to 4 pounds), spatchcocked (see instructions, below)
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Prep:Puree onion, garlic, herbs, oil, and zest in a food processor. Rub some puree under skin of chicken breast. Rub remaining puree over rest of bird. Refrigerate at least 6 hours and up to 8 hours. Let stand at room temperature 30 minutes. Wipe off most of rub; season with salt and pepper.
  • Grill:Heat grill to medium-high, or set up for indirect heat. Grill chicken, breast side down, covered with vent open, until nicely charred, 10 to 15 minutes. Flip; cook 30 minutes more. Flip again; grill until internal temperature reaches 165 degrees in thickest part of breast, 5 minutes more. Let rest 10 minutes.

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.

Categories     weekday, poultry, main course

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.

SPICE-RUBBED SPATCHCOCKED CHICKEN



Spice-Rubbed Spatchcocked Chicken image

A spatchcocked chicken, also called a butterflied chicken, cooks more quickly and evenly than a whole bird, giving you juicy white meat as well as dark meat in less than an hour. Here the chicken is marinated in a brown sugar and chile spice rub before being roasted until its skin is crisp and deeply flavored. If you aren't up for spatchcocking your own bird, you can ask your butcher to do it for you.

Provided by Melissa Clark

Categories     dinner, poultry, main course

Time 3h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 chicken, 3 1/2 to 4 pounds, patted dry
1 tablespoon dark brown sugar
2 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon ancho or New Mexico chile powder
1 teaspoon sweet paprika
1 teaspoon dry mustard powder
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
2 bay leaves, torn or cut into pieces
Lime or lemon wedges, for serving

Steps:

  • Spatchcock the chicken by using poultry shears or kitchen scissors (or a sharp knife) to cut along one side of the backbone until the chicken opens. If you like you can cut along the other side of the backbone and remove it, or leave it attached to roast with the rest of the bird. Open up the bird and place it so it lies flat, breast side up. Press hard onto the center of the breast until you feel a pop, and the breast lies more or less flat.
  • In a small bowl, mix together sugar, salt, chile powder, paprika, mustard powder, oregano, pepper, allspice and bay leaves. Smear the mixture all over the chicken. Lay chicken, skin side up, on a rimmed baking sheet (or plate) and refrigerate uncovered for at least 2 hours and up to 24 hours.
  • Heat oven to 425 degrees. If the chicken isn't on a rimmed baking sheet, transfer it to one. Roast chicken until the juices run clear when the thickest part of the thigh is pricked with a fork (an instant-read thermometer plunged into the thickest part of the breast will read 150), 40 to 50 minutes.
  • Remove from oven, cover bird with foil and let rest for 10 minutes before carving. Serve with lime or lemon wedges on the side.

Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken: A 3 to 4-pound whole chicken is a good size for spatchcocking. Look for a chicken that is free-range and organic, if possible.
  • Use a sharp knife: A sharp knife will make it easier to spatchcock the chicken. You can use a kitchen shears, but a sharp knife will give you more control.
  • Cut carefully: When you are spatchcocking the chicken, be careful not to cut through the skin or bones. You should cut along the backbone and then flatten the chicken.
  • Season the chicken well: Season the chicken with salt, pepper, and your favorite spices. You can also add a rub or marinade to the chicken for extra flavor.
  • Cook the chicken over indirect heat: Spatchcocked chicken cooks quickly, so it is important to cook it over indirect heat. This will help to prevent the chicken from drying out.
  • Use a meat thermometer: Use a meat thermometer to make sure that the chicken is cooked to an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the chicken rest before carving: Let the chicken rest for 10-15 minutes before carving. This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the chicken.

Conclusion:

Spatchcocked chicken is a delicious and easy-to-cook dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is also a great way to impress your friends and family. By following these tips, you can make sure that your spatchcocked chicken is cooked to perfection.
