How to Bake a Whole Chicken || Spatchcock Chicken Recipe

Remove the backbone from the chicken using scissors and lay it flat.

Wash the chicken with lemon or lime and cool running water.

In a small container, mix together the seasonings: 1 tablespoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 2 teaspoons creole seasoning, 2 teaspoons dried thyme, 1 tablespoon all-purpose adobo seasoning, 2 packs sazon, and 2 teaspoons ground ginger.

Add oil to the chicken and season it well, getting underneath the skin.

Preheat the oven to 380 degrees Fahrenheit.

Spray a turkey pan with oil and add the chicken, along with 1/4 cup chicken stock, 1/2 green bell pepper, 1/2 red onion, and 1 small carrot.

Bake the chicken uncovered for 30 minutes, then baste it.

Add hot honey to the chicken, then return it to the oven uncovered for an additional 40 minutes, basting it twice during this time.

After 40 minutes, take the chicken out, baste it again, and cover it with aluminum foil.

Bake again for 20 minutes, then remove the foil and broil on low for 5 minutes.
