Ingredients
1whole chicken
Method
You should be looking down at the chicken’s backbone.
you’re able to start from the top of the chicken or the bottom.
Emma Christensen
Cut all the way up one side of the backbone and then all the way up the other.
Remove the backbone and set it aside.
Now the breast of the chicken should be facing up.
Emma Christensen
Fold the legs so they are facing inward and the majority of the meat is facing up.
Use the palm of your hand and press down firmly over the breastbone.
You will likely hear some crunching (though it’s ok if you don’t).
Emma Christensen
you’re able to also pick up the chicken and use your hands if that feels more comfortable.
The tips of the tiny, thin wings tend to cook quickly and burn during cooking.
Tuck them behind the body of the chicken to help slow down their cooking and keep the tips protected.
