Our newest featured recipe has been such a tester’s treat that we almost didn’t want to give it away, but making the Flat Roast Chicken is so easy and so delicious that we can’t help ourselves. This roast chicken is enhanced by smearing a herbs de provence butter under the skin and coating with AURAS spice mixture. A quick dry brine makes the skin crisp and the meat juicy.
But the real game-changer from an ordinary oven-roasted bird is the way it’s prepared. This chicken is easily flattened using a technique that only takes a minute to do, but produces superior results to the much more complicated butterflying or spatchcocking methods. Cutting through the rib bones is ridiculously easy and the entire breast section opens like a car hood on a hinge so the bird is flattened with all the bones on one side and the meat on the other, protected by its skin. It might seem complicated, but look at the video,and you’ll see it’s really easy to do.
