4. Check the spatchcocked chicken and roast for another 20 minutes. Rotate the pan and drop the heat to 375Â°. Make sure that your oven is performing properly by double-checking the oven temp with an oven thermometer. The skin of the chicken should be turning a nice golden brown, which is why we cooked the chicken at such a high temperature initially.
Making a simple but perfect roast chicken is a technique that should be in every home cook's arsenal. But the reality is that perfection is difficult to achieve, especially if you're trying to roast that chicken whole. The problem is that chicken breasts dry out if cooked beyond 150Â°F (66Â°C) or so, but legs need to come up to 175Â°F (80Â°C). Spatchcocking, or butterflying, is the solution: By flattening out the chicken, you expose its legs to higher heat, helping them cook a little faster than the breastsâwhich is exactly what you want for juicy meat. It also offers crisper skin and a much faster cooking time than traditional roasting.
