Ingredients
- 1 whole bone-in chicken
- 1 tsp olive oil
- 5 cloves garlic finely minced
- 1 tbsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp pepper
- 1 fresh lemon, thinly sliced
Instructions
- Place the spatchcocked chicken in a cast-iron skillet breast side up and drizzle with olive oil to guarantee crispy skin. I like to place lemon slices underneath the chicken to give additional lemon flavor and create a bed for roasting the chicken.
- Generously season the chicken on both sides with the spices and herbs and top with a few lemon slices and place in a 400-degree oven for approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes.
- Use a meat thermometer to determine when the chicken is ready; its internal temperature should register 165 degrees F.
