Ingredients

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 400. Remove spine from chicken. This isn't the easiest thing, you will need a sharp knife and some elbow grease lol! Once spine is out, crush the breastbone with your hands. You should hear it crack. It should lay flat when done. This method allows it to cook faster and keeps the meat more moist. Freeze bone for chicken stock later!!

  2. 2

    Dry the chicken with towels. Coat in salt and put in air tight container for minimum of 30 min. This will pull the remaining moisture out. After 30 minutes rince the chicken thoroughly again and pat until dry.

  3. 3

    Coat the chicken in butter. Peel back the skin from the breast portion. And put 2 cubes of butter inside the breast skin. Bake for 45 minutes

  4. 4

    Coat one layer of bbq sauce after 45 minutes of cooking. Cook an additional 15 minutes. Then put another coat of bbq sauce on and cook another 10 minutes. Pull out and let it sit for at least 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute. I served it with garlic n herb roasted potatoes and fresh sauted green beans.

Blade right up next to spine it will glide threw like butter! If doing a cut up place blade on joints if the blade doesn't glide threw move it over a bit till you find the joint. To split the breast place blade between wishbone mainly cartilage once again shouldn't give you any resistance when processing a chicken there should be no resistance!! Unless if your processing a turkey or ostriches by hand you'll need a hammer. There's 3 ways to do this maybe I'll post!!! Happy cooking 😊
