Other Spice Options:

  • Herbed Chicken
  • Harissa Seasoning
  • Salt and pepper
  • Your favourite poultry seasoning

Instructions
 

  • Heat the oven to 400°F.
  • Place the chicken on a cutting board, ideally with a juice catcher, breast side down. Using your kitchen shears, cut out the spine. To find the spine, locate the neck at the top of the chicken and cut out the width of the neck all along the chicken, top to bottom. Remove any giblets.
    1 whole chicken
  • Tip: Use the spine and giblets to make a stock.
  • Once you remove the spine, flip the chicken over onto its back, spreading it flat as much as possible. Put the bottom of your palm in the middle of the chicken breast and press down firmly. You may hear a crack. You are breaking the breast bone to ensure the chicken lies flat.
  • Pat the chicken dry with a paper towel and season with your choice of seasoning. Make sure to add salt if your seasoning does not contain any.

  • Place the chicken breast side up on the rack of a roasting pan. Place the pan in the oven for 60 minutes or until the thickest part of the thigh reads 165 °F.
  • Let rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. Remove the legs and cut the breasts down the middle to separate them. Serve with your favourite sides.
