Ingredients
  • 1 Whole Chicken
  • Garlic Powder To taste
  • Onion Powder To taste
  • Paprika To taste
  • Salt To taste
  • Pepper To taste
  • Honey Enough to drizzle both sides of your chicken
Instructions
  1. Start by removing the backbone of the chicken by cutting down each side of the spine. This is know as spatchcocking. You can do this with a heavy chef's knife but I prefer to use kitchen shears. Then flip the chicken over so the breast is facing up and press down on it flattening the bird. The reason for this is by flattening the chicken out it will cook more evenly

  2. Season both sides of the chicken with the garlic, onion, paprika, salt, and pepper. Then drizzle with honey. Don't put on too much honey, as it can burn. Place the chicken in the roasting pan and cover tightly with foil.

  3. Preheat your oven to 350°F and roast the chicken until the deepest part of the part of the breast reads 160°F. Then remove the foil and increase the heat to 425°F and allow the chicken to continue to cook until the skin is browned and crispy, but keep an eye on it so it does not burn

  4. Once the skin is browned pull the chicken out of the oven and allow it to rest. Once it is cool enough to handle, cut the chicken in to quarters by cutting the skin between the breast and the thigh and split the breasts in half by cutting through the breast bone with a heavy chef's knife. If you have a lot small children, you may want to cut the chicken into eights by cutting the leg off of the thigh and cutting the wing off of the breast. Serve immediately.
