Glazed spatchcocked chicken is a flavorful dish that is made by combining two methods of cooking: spatchcocking and coating. Spatchcocking alludes to a strategy for getting ready poultry by eliminating the spine and smoothing the bird, which assists it with cooking all the more equally and rapidly. During the cooking process, glazing is the process of coating the chicken with a sweet or savory sauce to enhance its flavor and produce a glossy, caramelized exterior.
The following items are needed to make glazed spatchcocked chicken:
- One whole chicken (about 3 to 4 pounds)
- Olive oil - Salt and pepper to taste
- For the glaze:
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 minced garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon grated ginger
- 1 lemon juice Here's
how to make the glazed spatchcocked chicken:
1. Preheat your broiler to 425°F (220°C).
2. Spatchcocking the bird is the first step. Put the chicken bosom side down on a cutting board. Cut along both sides of the backbone with kitchen shears or a sharp knife to remove it. Flip the chicken over and push it down solidly on the breastbone to level it. If you'd rather, you can also ask your butcher to spatchcock the chicken for you.
3. On both sides, generously season the chicken with salt and pepper.
4. To make the glaze, mix the honey, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, grated ginger, and lemon juice in a small bowl.
5. Heat a huge broiler-safe skillet or simmering container over medium-high intensity. Olive oil can be added to the pan.
6. Cook the spatchcocked chicken, skin-side down, in the pan for about 5 minutes, until the skin is crispy and golden brown.
7. Brush the glaze all over the chicken, making sure it is evenly coated, and flip the chicken over so that the skin side is facing up.
8. Move the skillet or broiling dish to the preheated broiler and meal for around 30-40 minutes, or until the chicken is completely cooked and the inner temperature comes to 165°F (74°C).
9. To make a coating that is sticky and caramelized, brush more glaze over the chicken about every 10 minutes.
10. Once cooked, eliminate the chicken from the broiler and let it rest for a couple of moments before serving.
11. Drizzle any remaining glaze over the top of the chicken after carving it into serving pieces.
Glazed spatchcocked chicken tastes best when eaten warm and goes well with a variety of sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a fresh salad.
