Ingredients :
- 1 large free range chicken
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 tsp dried thyme
- 2 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1/2 tsp white pepper
- to taste chilli powder, flakes or cayenne pepper,
- black pepper
Method :
- To spatchcock a chicken place it on a wooden board in front of you upside down - breasts down, legs towards you.
- With kitchen scissors cut along one side of the backbone, and then the other, then turn the chicken over and press down flat. Easy!
- Mix the ingredients for the rub in a bowl. Place the chicken in a roasting tray, sprinkle the rub over and rub in with your fingers. Cover and refrigerate over night or for as long as possible before cooking.
- Preheat the oven to 200C/Gas 6. Drizzle some olive oil over the chicken and toss a few unpeeled garlic cloves into the tin. Roast in the oven for 20 minute, then reduce the temperature to 180C/Gas 4 and cook for a further hour, until cooked through. Baste twice during the cooking time. If you wish to crisp and bronze up the skin turn the grill on for the final 10 minutes of cooking.
- Rest the chicken for 15-20 minutes and then serve with coleslaw and fries (we skipped the fries as we were having gigantic slices of apple pie for dessert).
