:
1-2 tsp salt
4 cups potatoes cut into chunks
Instructions
1. Pre-heat the oven to 200ºC/390ºF.
2. To spatchcock the chicken, start by placing the chicken breast-side down on
a large cutting board. Using sharp kitchen shears/scissors, cut down either
side of the back-bone, removing it. Flip the chicken over so that the breast-
side is up and push the chicken down to flatten it.
3. Combine all the marinade ingredients and mix well.
4. Place the chicken in a roasting dish and season with salt, then spoon over
half of the marinade. Make sure to rub the marinade all over the chicken. Lift
the breast skin and spoon some of the marinade onto the breast meat.
5. Place the chicken breast-side up and pour over the remaining marinade. Add
potatoes to the roasting dish. Season the potatoes with salt and pepper and
place in the oven.
6. Allow to roast for 45 minutes-1 hour or until the chicken is cooked. I like to
spoon the juices over the chicken every 20 minutes or so to aid in the
browning of the chicken.
7. Remove from the oven and allow to rest for 10 minutes before carving and
serving.
