Orange And Rosemary Roast Spatchcock Chicken
- 1 whole chicken
- 1 Orange zested & quartered
- fat choice, duck, coconut, ghee etc
- fresh rosemary
- pepper
- Preheat the oven to about 200 C.
- Turn the chicken so it's laying breast side down. Take some kitchen shears or a sharp knife and cut out the backbone of your chicken. (Set aside the backbone to make stock later, or chuck it in the bin.)
- 'Spread' your chicken and season the inside with salt and pepper.
- Turn over the chicken so it's now breast-side up.
- Pat her dry with some paper towels and rub in your chosen fat all over the bird - I used duck fat because that's what we have in the fridge.
- Season well with salt and pepper, then rub in your orange zest. Spear/poke your rosemary sticks in between the legs/wings and in each 'open end'.
- Tuck your orange quarters around the bird.
- Pop into the oven for about 45 mins - 1 hour, until the juices run clear and the skin is crispy.
