Citrus Spatchcock Chicken

October 4, 2016 By denise Leave a Comment

I can’t believe summer is already over. It seems like it went by so fast. There was so much I wanted to do during summer and I only accomplished a few things.

But I’m ready for fall.  I know it’s here already but the weather just has to catch up. That’s not stopping me from roasting all the things.

A few months ago, I was watching an episode of The Kitchen when Katie Lee made a Spatchcock chicken on the grill. That’s what really kicked me into learning how to use the grill.

Oh that crispy grilled chicken was incredible. So I’ve been experimenting with roasting a Spatchcock chicken in the oven. With vegetables. A one pot sort of meal.

Only my veggies kept getting soggy from the juices of the citrus I insisted on using. Roasting this chicken in a cast iron grill is the best thing.

Butterflying the chicken makes it cook evenly and the chicken comes out juicy with a crispy skin. If you haven’t tried it yet, do it. It’s not hard and I promise you’ll start doing it for all your roasting needs.
