The Best Way To Roast Chicken

A perfectly roasted chicken to hard to beat...with its crisp, salty skin, and moist tender meat. But unfortunately, most people's chicken comes end up with skin that is either pale or burndt, and legs are perfectly cooked and breast meat that tastes like cardboard. How do you avoid this? The answer is spatchcocking!

I love this recipe so much , its now one of my favorite dish since i cooked it, and am 14 but i love to cook am hoping to become a professional chef when am older

[@donotneed2250]

Outstanding, young lady. My grandmother, who cooked for a living, started teaching my sister, brother and myself how to cook when we were in elementary school. When my brother was 16 he was an assistant chef at one of the leading restaurants in our town. Don't be afraid to try different ways of cooking and different spice, herb combinations.

Try dry brines and wet brines! 12-24 hours brining... Either rub all over generously including under skin with kosher salt and black pepper and any aromatics/herbs, or cure by burying in salt, or sumberge and marinade in a brine. Can google/youtube search for ratios! Good luck! Also try briefly broiling the skin! :O

[@borntodoit8744]

@@davidf2244 surely brining is just about salt So add salt over submerging in salty water? Add salt rub, salty butter, salt spice rub? I don't know I like the thought of spatch cocking But what to do with the back bone.... Maybe roast it as a side? Deep fry it like kfc... bones become crunch bites

[@azeenaharoon82]

I've been trying this method for the past 6 mnths and, must say it has always been a winner every single time :)

[@cindywilkerson1718]

I tried this for thanksgiving and it was so good. This was my first time cooking my chicken in this method and it was a big hit for me and my family. Thanks so much for sharing your recipe.

[@debrad9968]

Hi, I haven't even made this yet and it IS my favorite recipe!! Thank you for that...it looks wonderful!!

[@julieaytonyates7121]

learning to spatchcock a chicken is by far the best kitchen tip I've ever learned and it's super easy

[@ralphdurham6484]

I spatchcock with a thin cleaver, works well for me, easier to clean than scissors. I also use the knife to crack the breast bone from the cavity side and season that side also. Have also done a turkey in this manner to save oven space for other dishes.

[@benfrizzy6728]

This was a perfect tutorial. Thank you.

[@137997311ful]

Thomas Joseph, I tried your roasted chicken recipe and it turned out AWESOME. I made a lemon garlic and coconut sugar marinade and rubbed this all over my whole chicken before I placed it in the oven. Im letting it cool down before I slice, dice and consume. Thanks for instructional cooking video!

[@very_awake]

Awesome. This looks easy enough. Will try this soon!

[@bencolombia337]

Thanks. Looks good. Will try that next time.

[@kathycrawford4719]

Thanks!! I am going to try this.

[@conr1215]

I saw your video lastnight and decided to take out a chicken and try this today so far all looks really good

[@pabur5990]

I just wrote your name down on my "best to watch cooking videos" list. This technique was easy and since I've tried it, I've decided it will be my fav way of fixing chicken. BTW, you have a great video personality.

[@ingnorancebliss]

I literally gasp then salivate when the skin was making the crunch sound

[@Itsjessigreaves]

Last week I tried to make a roasted chicken. It was not good! I was determined to learn a good recipe for it. I watch your video and I tried it today and it was delicious.!! It cooked beautifully and it tasted so good. Even my daughter - the pickiest eater around here - loved it. I served it with roasted red potatoes and shallots. So good!

[@Leatricaw]

I’m trying this on Sunday. Thanks 😊

[@elrey8324]

[@cassiepike834]

This is a fantastic recipe! I've done this twice already, and the chicken has turned out beautifully each time (time in the oven adjusted of course to the size of the chicken I have)! SO MOIST, tender and the skin perfectly crisp - I don't even LIKE chicken and it tastes amazing!

[@morganod]

thanks! very good, explained, no crazy or loud music, I will have to buy a chicken now

[@JeanetteKatie]

Looks so yummy-and easy.

[@Handy92079]

this works great with turkey also. I love this method!

[@ihath]

will give this a try

[@julieaytonyates7121]

I tried this method, but did a thai peanut, olive oil, and garlic rub and placed the chicken on some quartered onions. Then added a can of coconut milk to the roast pan for the last 20 minutes, it was delicious!

[@billyjoeidel2]

I like this method of cooking a chicken. I have used it a few times now. It is easy and quick. The chicken comes out tender, moist and the skin crispy. It is also very easy to slice into portions.

Wow I have been removing that piece from the back of chicken this way for a long time. It just made sense to me, but I will try your recipe. Like the lemons under the chicken. Thank you.

[@deyaeliza]

Best roast chicken recipe!!!

[@MMLynnmarie]

Every time I cook chicken this way it comes out awesome. Even cooked duck this way and it came out amazing. Thanks for the tip.

[@Penelope-2020]

Very helpful

[@gemini0557]

Before, I had this problem some parts are already chard. After watching this video, my roasting was perfect. Thank you 😂

[@trueleyes]

THIS IS GREAT. I have tried this once already and it is GREAT. I'm going to do this with the next Thanksgiving TURKEY. I'm even going to try cutting up the bird as you have shown but before it goes into the oven trying to keep the open cuts touching the other.

[@sugarman454]

Great video! What temp and how long? Thanks!

[@RonRicho]

This is a very good cooking video. Very clear and to the point. Great recipe and technique. I watch cooking video to learn not to hear someone's life story. Making a spatchcock chicken tomorrow. Thanks.

[@cristinaesmero2275]

Hello Thomas. I followed ur instructions on how to roast a chicken and it works! Thank you. With my leftovers, How can I reheat my roasted chicken the next day?

[@alanado1]

The shallots looks like burnet but I think the receipt, in general, is worthy try

[@donotneed2250]

I've been spatchcocking for a while now and the last one I did my wife ate more of it than I did. She even ate the back which I thought I had hidden. Yes, I cook the back too. I used a rub mix of salt, black pepper, cumin, cinnamon, Italian seasons, Turmeric, cayenne pepper. I put most of the mix under the skin and what was left over on the skin. After that I used a knife to punch holes in the meat and skin. The drippings was used to make a gravy.

[@sidpopejoy500]

Try this on the grill. A great way to do a whole chicken on your Weber or whatever you use.

[@infinitycupcake]

Do you have any good spice rub recipes or marinades? And how do I apply them?

[@leftyla]

I blush everytime he says spatchcock.

[@coffinfeeder1617]

excellent video

[@evenanangel5]

omg i just made this it totally works. I had like a 5lb whole bird never roasted or cooked a whole bird before. I did not do the lemon shallot thing but the cutting and roasting time and temp were perfect i cooked longer for bigger bird

[@MBest12]

BETTER THAN THE STORE BOUGHT ROTISSERIES. This recipe is SPOT ON PERFECTION, even for kitchen beginners. I think the keys are having the thermometer at 165 and baking at 425 and elevating the chicken. I winged it with just salt and pep and used a cookie rack in a 9x13 dish to elevate the chicken, I even had an almost 7lb chicken just cooked about 1hr 30. So juicy cooked perfect crispy skin nom nom
