Sometimes all you need is The Perfect Roast Chicken from SkinnyEntertaining 🤩 Juicy, tender and crispy, tasty skin.

Pretty please promise me that you will make the Gravy from Scratch with the drippings from the roast too….⁠

Perfect for entertaining or making an epic roast dinner. Both these recipes feature in SkinnyEntertaining (FYI don’t skip the Twice Cooked Potatoes… you can thank me later!)⁠

How to Spatchcock a Chicken for The Perfect Roast Chicken:

  • Place your whole chicken breast side down.
  • Using sharp kitchen shears remove the neck, back bone and parsons nose by cutting down either side of the spine.
  • Take a sharp knife and make a cut through the cartridge at the top of the inside breastbone to make breaking the breastbone easier.
  • Flip the chicken over and press down firmly, with the palm of your hand between the breasts to flatten it out.
  • Tuck your wings under the breastbone, and turn the legs inside out.
  • Now you have a perfect spatchcock chicken.
