Butterflied Roast Chicken

Posted November 11, 2015 4:55 am

1 large roasting chicken (4 to 4½ pounds), butterflied

Olive oil

Seasoning salt and pepper to taste

12 small new potatoes, sliced in half

8 peeled shallots, sliced in half

Salt and pepper

Preheat a convection oven to 450 degrees or a standard oven to 500 degrees.

Rub olive oil on both sides of the chicken, season with seasoning salt and pepper, and place in a large roasting pan skin side up, splayed out.

Place the cut potatoes and shallots around the sides and coat them with olive oil cooking spray. Season the potatoes and onions with salt and pepper.

Place in the preheated oven. If using a convection oven, roast the chicken at 450 F for 45 to 50 minutes. If using a regular oven, roast it at 500 F for 45 to 50 minutes. To make sure it is cooked through use a meat thermometer and make sure the thigh is at 165.

Remove and let rest for 10 minutes. Carve and serve alongside the potatoes and onions.

Serves 4
