00:00Roast chicken is a classic comfort dish, but let me show you how to elevate it with the butterfly technique.
00:06First, place your chicken breast side down and cut along the backbone with kitchen shears.
00:12Remove the backbone, flip it over, and press down to flatten.
00:17This ensures yours even cooking and crispy skin.
00:20Season generously with salt, pepper, and your favorite herbs.
00:25Garlic and rosemary are my go-tos.
00:28Preheat your oven to 400 degrees, place the chicken skin side up, and drizzle with olive oil.
00:35Roast for 45 to 55 minutes until golden and juicy.
00:40Baste halfway for extra flavor.
00:43This method is a game-changer.
00:45Perfect results every time, just like a pro chef.
00:48Serve it up with roasted veggies or creamy mashed potatoes and watch your family be impressed.
