Categories     main-dish

Time 2h15m

Yield 2 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon ground cayenne
Zest of 1 lemon, the lemon quartered
One 3-pound chicken, giblets removed
6 cloves garlic, crushed
3 fresh bay leaves
2 medium onions, sliced into 3 rings each
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled

Steps:

  • Combine the salt, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, black pepper, cayenne and lemon zest in a bowl. Wash the chicken and pat very dry. Rub the spice mixture all over the chicken. Set the chicken on a plate and refrigerate, uncovered, for at least 1 hour and up to 8 hours (to dry out the skin and promote crisp skin).
  • When you are ready to cook, preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
  • Stuff the chicken with the lemon quarters, garlic and bay leaves. Arrange the onion slices to make a bed for the chicken in a large cast-iron skillet. Set the chicken on the onions and tuck the wings tips under the chicken's body. Brush the chicken all over with the melted butter.
  • Roast the chicken, basting once halfway through with the pan juices, until the skin is crisp and golden and an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thigh (do not touch bone) reads 165 degrees F, about 45 minutes. Let rest at least 10 minutes before carving.

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.

1 whole chicken (about 3 1/2 pounds), halved, back and breast bones removed (leave the rib bones)
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1 tablespoon coarse sea salt or kosher salt
1/2 tablespoon ground cinnamon
1/2 tablespoon ground allspice
1/2 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper

  • Remove the chicken from the refrigerator 1 hour before cooking. Place a 14-inch skillet or heavy-duty roasting or baking pan in the oven, along with 2 foil-wrapped bricks, and preheat the oven to 500°F for 15 minutes.
  • Rub the chicken with the olive oil and press it flat. Wearing oven mitts, remove the pan from the oven and press the chicken, skin side down, on the pan.

Tips:

  • Use a whole chicken that is about 3 pounds. A larger chicken will not cook evenly.
  • Make sure the chicken is completely thawed before cooking.
  • Flatten the chicken by removing the backbone and pressing down on the breastbone.
  • Use a sharp knife to score the chicken skin. This will help the spice rub penetrate the chicken.
  • Use a generous amount of spice rub. The chicken should be well coated.
  • Roast the chicken at a high temperature for a short amount of time. This will help the chicken cook evenly and prevent it from drying out.
  • Let the chicken rest for 10 minutes before carving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the chicken.

Conclusion:

This spice rubbed flattened roast chicken is a delicious and easy to make dish. It is perfect for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion. The chicken is juicy and flavorful, and the spice rub gives it a nice kick. Serve the chicken with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a salad.
