It is very easy - use a kitchen shears or poultry shears to remove the back bone and then squash the chicken down flat. Watch this video to see how it is done.
Once the chicken is boned out it can be roasted. I like to add some extra flavour by rubbing a little flavoured oil all over the skin. If possible, cover and refrigerate the chicken overnight.
Flavoured Oil
1 tablespoon oil
2 teaspoons smoked paprika/hot smoked paprika
1 teaspoon garlic powder
Mix ingredients together and rub into the flesh of the chicken
To cook the chicken
Line a shallow tray with foil.
Place the chicken, skin side up, on a bed of fresh thyme or lemon thyme. This is not essential but does add some flavour.
Roast at 180 deg C until golden brown and cooked, this will take a bout 40 - 50 minutes.
Remove chicken from the oven and allow to rest in a warm place.
Roast some vegetables at the same time for the perfect dinner.
