Roast chicken is a timeless comfort dish, but if you want to take it to the next level, butterflying—or spatchcocking—is the secret technique you need. By removing the backbone and flattening the chicken, you ensure even cooking, crispy skin, and tender, juicy meat every time. This method is quicker than traditional roasting and delivers restaurant-quality results right in your own kitchen. To get started, place your chicken breast-side down on a cutting board and use sharp kitchen shears to cut along both sides of the backbone. Remove it, then flip the bird and press firmly on the breastbone to flatten. Season generously with salt, pepper, and your favorite herbs. Garlic, rosemary, and lemon zest work beautifully, but you can also experiment with paprika, thyme, or even a spice rub for extra depth of flavor. Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Place the chicken on a baking tray or cast-iron skillet, skin-side up, and drizzle with olive oil. Roast for 45–55 minutes until the skin is golden and crispy, and the juices run clear. For an extra burst of flavor, baste halfway through with melted butter or pan juices. Chef Scott Biffin often highlights the butterfly technique as a foolproof way to achieve perfect results, making it a favorite among home cooks and professionals alike. Not only does the chicken cook faster, but every bite is succulent and evenly done. Serve your roast butterfly chicken with roasted vegetables, fresh salad, or creamy mashed potatoes. Once you’ve tried this method, you’ll never go back to roasting a whole bird the old way. It’s simple, delicious, and guaranteed to impress your family and guests.
