- 1 whole Chicken, Roughly 4 Pound Size
- 3 Tablespoons Butter, Melted
- 1/2 teaspoons Kosher Salt
- 1/2 teaspoons Fresh Cracked Black Pepper
- 1 teaspoon Mrs Dash Table Blend
- 8 cups Cold Water
- 4 cups Idaho Potatoes, Peeled
- 13 cups Milk
- 1- 1/2 Tablespoon Butter
- 1 Tablespoon Sour Cream
- 1/4 teaspoons Salt
- 1/4 teaspoons Fresh Cracked Black Pepper
- 2 Tablespoons Butter
- 1 clove Garlic, Sliced
- 4 cups Baby Spinach
- 1 pinch Salt
- 1 pinch Fresh Cracked Black Pepper
- Preheat oven to 375 F.
- 1.
- Using a pair of kitchen shears, cut the backbone out of the chicken.
- Place the chicken skin side up in a roasting pan with a wire rack.
- Using your hands, press the breast down in order to butterfly the chicken.
- You will feel the wishbone break.
- Tuck the wing tips under and make sure the chicken is lying flat.
- This will allow the chicken to cook more evenly and all the skin to crisp.
- 2.
- Brush the melted butter over the skin of the chicken.
- Sprinkle evenly with salt, pepper and seasoning blend.
- 3.
- Place in the preheated oven and cook for 1 hour 20 minutes.
- While the chicken cooks, prepare the remainder of the meal.
- You will want to time the cooking times to make everything finished at the same time.
- 4.
- Fill a large pot with 8 cups of cold water.
- 5.
- Cut the peeled potatoes into 1/2 inch thick slices and place in the cold water.
- 6.
- With the burner on medium-high, bring the water to a boil.
- Once the water begins to boil, the potatoes will need about 20 minutes to become completely cooked.
- Use a knife to test the doneness of the potatoes.
- When you can insert the knife into the potato and feel no resistance, you are ready to move to the next step.
- 7.
- Drain the potatoes and then place them back into the hot pot.
- Allow to sit for 1-2 minutes.
- This allows the excess moisture to leave the potatoes.
- Transfer to a mixer-safe bowl.
- 8.
- Using a hand mixer, beat the potatoes with the milk, butter, and sour cream.
- Continue to whip until they are fluffy.
- Add salt and pepper (you will need to add to taste) and stir.
- 9.
- Cover with plastic wrap until ready to serve.
- 10.
- To prepare the spinach, melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat with minced garlic.
- Once the butter is melted and the garlic is softened, add the spinach and allow it to gently wilt for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently.
- Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- When its done remove the chicken from the oven and allow the chicken to rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
- Then cut between the joints and halve the breasts.
- Layer a base of potatoes onto each plate, followed by spinach, and then topped with chicken.
- Enjoy!
