    Ingredients

    • 2 Tablespoons avocado oil (Click here for my favorite brand on Amazon)
    • 1 Tablespoon kosher salt
    • 1 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
    • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
    • 1 teaspoon Paprika
    • ½ teaspoon Dried parsley
    • ½ teaspoon dried oregano
    • ½ teaspoon Dried Thyme
    • 1 (4 - 5 pound) Whole Chicken

    Instructions

    • Preheat the oven to 450F and line a rimmed sheet pan with aluminum foil. In a small mixing bowl, combine your seasonings and avocado oil and make a paste. Set aside.
    • On a cutting board, place your whole chicken, breast side down and legs toward you. Using kitchen shears, begin cutting on one side of the chickens spine until completely separated. Repeat for the other side. Make sure to cut as closely as possible to the spine so you aren't discarding too much flesh. Remove and discard or reserve for homemade chicken stock. Season each side of chicken with the rub.
    • Place your chicken, breast side up, on already lined baking sheet and press down with your palm in the center of the bird to flatten it a bit. Place into already preheated oven. Roast chicken in the center of the oven until joint between thighs and body registers at least 175°F with an instant read thermometer, about 45 minutes. Allow to rest for 5 minutes before carving.

      I love spatchcocking poultry. Its the only way I cook my Thanksgiving turkeys and I do this when I cook your airfryer chicken. Turns out perfect everytime. Thank you for the seasoning ideas. That is where i struggle!

          Sorry I just saw this. The first year I spatchcocked the turkey I broke many scissors so the next year I purchased a pair of Fiskars 3/4 in. gardening shears. I use them only on poultry. It was so much better.
