Quick & Easy Greek Style Spatchcocked Chicken: Ready in under an Hour!
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
Once you learn the simple technique of spatchcocking a chicken, you will make it this way all the time. Removing the backbone basically flattens the chicken and helps it roast faster and the result is a juicy chicken with crispy skin. This recipe is loaded with Greek flavors like lemon and oregano and is simply delicious.

Serves 4:
1 whole chicken
1 onion, quartered
The Marinade:
• 1/3 cup olive oil
• ¼ cup lemon juice or more
• 3-4 garlic cloves, grated
The Spices:
• 2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
• ½ teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
• 1 teaspoon sweet paprika
Preheat the oven to 425 °F, 220 °C.
Spatchcock the chicken: Using a sharp knife or kitchen shears, cut along the backbone and remove it. Save it for chicken stock in a freezer-safe bag in the freezer.
Cut the breastbone so that the chicken lays flat.
Cut the wing tips or tuck them under while roasting so that they do not burn. Many times, the chicken is sild with the tips already trimmed.
Marinate the chicken: Combine the marinade ingredients and mix together. Pour over both sides of the chicken.
Season the chicken: Combine all of the spices and mix them together. Season both sides of the chicken.
Chill the chicken in the refrigerator for 3-4 hours so that the marinade can flavor the chicken. If you do not have time, just roast the chicken straight away, the marinade and spices are very flavorful.
Transfer the chicken and all of the marinade and spices to a cast-iron skillet.
Add the onion to the skillet and bake in the center of the preheated oven (uncovered) until the internal temperature reaches 165 °F. About 55 minutes.
For extra golden and crispy skin, turn the broiler element on for the final 5-6 minutes. Keep a close eye on the chicken so that it does not burn.
Remove from the oven and set aside for 10 minutes so that it stays juicy.
Serve the spatchcocked chicken with lemony roasted potatoes, mashed potatoes, salad, or Mediterranean rice pilaf.

Hi Dimitra..always love your great recipes. Was looking for a new chicken recipe and this It...Efharisto poli !!!
This will be easy,well some of it , I don’t have any whole chicken in my freezer , just 40 lbs of chicken leg quarters,so I won’t have to practice my meat cutting skills I learned in culinary school ,the potatoes I’m making and one of your beet salads , but I’m going to use canned beets as my beets in the garden are just beet greens now . I love your channel, it’s 75 miles to a Greek restaurant from here, and even though these restaurants in downtown Madison Wisconsin are gyro places they are wonderful,the white tablecloth restaurant there is gone now , but the food they served was 5 star ,I miss it .
Right on!
Love chicken dishes
I put a whole chicken in the fridge to thaw today. This will be Saturday's dinner. Not sure if I will use your Greek lemony potato recipe or your rice pilaf. Probably the rice because I don't want to go out to the store if I don't have to. Thank you for always posting such delicious food. I have made a few of your things and they have turned out very well.

I made this tonight for my family, it was lovely everyone loved it. Thank you for your videos! Love from Australia 🇦🇺
Delish!
I made a sauce with butter, lemon, garlic & oregano, flattened out my chicken breast or skinless thighs so they were even, then cooked the chicken over hard wood charcoal, basting with the sauce as it broiled, the taste was unbelievable..........
The flights to Greece have resumed today in the UK. So I will leave as soon as I can. I will keep the video and do it in Corfu Thank you
Mium i’m testing this

Should be able to find cumin in any Walmart store (I think all have groceries, now?) It is great to add to any dry rub for BBQ, especially pork.

Hey beautiful 😍
You don"t need to remove the spine. You can just cut the chicken along the spine and leave it in for the baking process. I am sure it will end up in the trash anyway before deciding to making soup or broth with it.
There should be no reason any Greek girl can’t learn how to cook thanks to Dimitra 😂 If you want a gambro, get off your kolo and tune in to this channel 😂😂
It's got to suck that have a 106k subscribers and you can't afford a good pair of kitchen shears that cost $15. I guess you got into the wrong profession. Oh wait yottube isn't a real profession. That must be why every high schooler and college dropouts turns to KZread. Maybe before you start a cooking channel you should buy the proper tools. And if you can't afford it I'm sure there's some street corner that you can work on to earn that $15.
