Let's face it, roasted chicken can be a snooze. For such a staple of everyday cooking, it's remarkably easy to either underseason or overcook to the point it becomes as dry as the Sahara. But with five ingredients and a bit of patience, you can cook up a deliciously brown and crisp bird with a succulent, moist interior.

By spatchcocking the chicken and adding Primal Kitchen Green Goddess Dressing, your chicken will be as moist and delicious as a restaurant-made version. If you're not familiar with spatchcocking (sorry, we can't help saying that word again), don't worry! Our recipe instructions will tell you how to open up your bird so all the limbs are facing upward, resulting in crispy, cracking skin that makes a whole chicken so naturally delicious.

Directions

First, spatchcock the chicken: Set the chicken breast-side down and remove anything that’s inside the cavity. Using a sharp knife or kitchen shears, cut down each side of the backbone to remove it. The backbone runs right down the middle of the chicken. When the backbone is removed, the chicken will fold open.
Preheat the oven to 425°F.
Combine the Green Goddess dressing, Himalayan salt, black pepper, and zest of lime in a small bowl and whisk together gently.
Rub the mixture onto the chicken (front and back). Place the chicken on a roasting tray with a wire rack (lined with tin foil).
Roast the chicken for 45 minutes, or until it’s reached a minimum temperature of 165°F at its thickest point. Carve, serve, and enjoy!
