Herbes de Provence Roasted Chicken

Roasted chicken is an all time dinner classic. This recipe first spatchcocks a chicken, then seasons it with traditional herbes de Provence for a perfectly cooked, perfectly delicious meal. Spatchcocking (or butterflying if you must) removes the back bone from a chicken, then lays it flat for roasting. The end result is a perfectly roasted chicken with none of the meat under or overcooked. You don’t need to spatchcock your chicken, but it is our recommendation for more even cooking.
