What’s in Spatchcock Chicken with Garlic and Herbs
A whole chicken is made delicious with a medley of herbs, olive oil, and 5 whole heads of garlic.
Chicken: You’ll need a 4 pound whole chicken for this easy spatchcock recipe. Garlic: 5 whole heads of garlic? Yes! You know every bite of this chicken is going to be infused with the best garlicky flavor. Dried Herbs: Thyme, rosemary, and oregano create the very best herbaceous flavor. Olive Oil: Try to use a good quality extra virgin olive oil for the very best flavor. Baby Potatoes: Round out your meal and still only use one pan when you toss some baby potatoes into the mix. Onion: You can use whatever color of onion you like best.
Pro Tip: Get a good pair of kitchen scissors to cut the chicken.
Do I need to peel the garlic?
Nope! By just chopping the tops of the whole garlic heads off, you allow for the flavor and aroma of the garlic to infuse into the chicken. You don’t have to worry about peeling it.
How to Store and Reheat
In an airtight container in the refrigerator, any leftover spatchcock chicken you have will stay fresh for up to 3 days. Reheat pieces of chicken in the microwave, air fryer, or oven until warmed through.
Serving Suggestions
This spatchcock chicken recipe is perfect to serve with all the trimmings! The baby hassle-back potatoes that are cooked with the chicken are a must for me, as is the garlic and onion.
