Dried herbs are more affordable and have a longer shelf life.

Chop fresh rosemary, tarragon, and thyme in a mortar and pestle.

Add a good dose of salt and black pepper to the herbs in the mortar and pestle.

Mix in olive oil to the herb mixture to create an herbed oil.

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).

Prepare the chicken by using sturdy kitchen shears to cut on either side of the backbone to spatchcock it.

Drizzle the herbed oil over the chicken and massage it into the skin.

Place lemon slices and chopped onion around the chicken in the roasting pan.

Pour about 1 cup of white wine around the chicken in the pan.

Roast the chicken in the preheated oven for 25 minutes until it starts to get crispy.

After 25 minutes, deglaze the pan with more white wine and return the chicken to the oven for an additional 15-20 minutes.

Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before serving.
