Roasted Garlic Spatchcock Chicken. 

Perfect main dish for Friendsgiving or a smaller family get together 🍂🐓

Wine: Glou Glou red -Jajaja @tintoamorio 

Ingredients 
1 whole chicken (~4lbs)
1 lb potatoes 
1 head of garlic 
3 carrots sliced in 2 inch pieces 
1 large onion diced 
Rosemary 
Salt and pepper 
Paprika 
Olive oil 

Roasted garlic compound butter 

1 stick butter (room temperature) 
1 tbsp fresh sage chopped
2 tbsp minced shallot 
1/2 garlic bulb roasted 
1 Tbsp @mailleus whole grain mustard 
1 tsp Dijon mustard 
1 tsp oregano 
Pinch of salt and pepper 

How to make it:

Cut garlic bulb in half, coat with olive oil. Wrap in tin foil and bake in the oven at 400F for 35-40 minutes. 

While garlic is roasting prep and cut any vegetables that you will be roasting with the chicken. 

Spatchcock method: cut out the backbone with kitchen shears. Flip over and press down on the center of the breastbone to flatten out the chicken as much as possible. 

For the butter, add chopped sage, shallots, Dijon, whole grain mustard, oregano and roasted garlic. Add a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir until combined. 

Pat the chicken dry with a paper towel. Generously season with salt. Add a little over half of the compound butter under the skin of the chicken. And then add the rest on top of the skin making sure to cover between any folds. Finish with a generous sprinkle of paprika. Place the chicken onto a baking sheet or cast iron. Add  potatoes, onion and carrot around the chicken. Season with olive oil, salt and pepper. I had a little butter left so I melted it and poured it over the vegetables. Add sprigs of rosemary or thyme on top. Place into the oven at 425 F. Cook chicken for 45-55 minutes or until internal temp reaches 160F. Half way through cooking baste the chicken with the pan juice. 

Serve and enjoy 😊
