Steps

  1. 1

    We start by cutting the chicken open from the back (spatchcocking), then we press the legs forward as shown in the video. We make several slits in the chicken breast to help the marinade penetrate.

  2. 2

    We mix all the marinade ingredients until well combined, then we coat the chicken thoroughly with the marinade, making sure it reaches into the slits.

  3. 3

    We cover the chicken and let it marinate in the fridge for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight for deeper flavor

  4. 4

    We preheat the oven to 200–220°C (392–428°F), using both top and bottom heat.

  5. 5

    We place the chicken on a wire rack (or an elevated baking tray rack)

  6. 6

    Roast it for about 1 hour, until fully cooked and golden-red in color.

  7. 7

    We serve the chicken hot with lemon slices, yogurt sauce, or naan bread if desired.
