Have An Easy And Elegant Dinner Of Spatchcock Chicken
If you are in need of a special dinner recipe, preparing a spatchcock chicken may be something that would appeal to you. Although it has a funny name and seems as though it might be difficult, in fact it is a very easy dish. Either for a company meal, or a family dinner, this method of cooking chicken will surely get outstanding reviews from your diners.
A spatchcock chicken is really just a butterflied chicken. Ideally, the chicken should be as young and as fresh as possible. If you wish, you may have the butcher butterfly the chicken when you purchase it. But, the process is not difficult, and you might want to learn how to do it yourself.
What you will need to do the spatchcock preparation is a pair of poultry shears. Often these may be included in the bigger and more comprehensive kitchen knife sets, or you may have to purchase them separately. Poultry shears are a useful tool to have in your kitchen for many purposes, so they are a good investment.
Put the chicken on a cutting board in front of you, breast side down against the board. Using the shears, cut alongside the backbone, cutting right through the ribs, on both sides of the backbone, along the entire length of the chicken. Lift the backbone piece free, to be discarded or saved for making stock or used in another recipe.
Turn the chick back onto the breast side, so that the cut side is now against the board, pulling the two halves apart as you turn it. Press down hard with the heel of your hand against the breastbone, until you hear it snap and the chicken can be flattened against the cutting surface. If you wish, this can be done a day ahead and the chicken can be marinated overnight.
When you are ready to start cooking the chicken, place it into a roasting pan with the breast side facing up. Make sure the pan is big enough to contain the flattened bird. The chicken should be roasted for about 50 minutes in an oven set to 375 F. Test for doneness by taking the temperature of the thickest part of a thigh, which should measure about 165 F. Cooked this way, the chicken should be well browned and very juicy in all parts, including the breast.
After the chicken rests for several minutes, carve it into serving pieces. Usually a good brand such as a Wusthof Knife Set will come with a carving knife that is ideal for this job. Garnish the carved pieces as desired, presented on a serving platter. Then enjoy your delicious creation, as well as the compliments you are going to be given for this elegant dish.
