This spatchcock chicken with citrus and honey recipe is a jazzed-up version of classic roast chicken, with succulent, crispy-skinned chicken bursting with sweet, garlicky, and citrusy flavor.

This spatchcock chicken recipe is inspired by the Greek Island of Crete, where exceptional honey, citrus, oregano, and extra virgin olive oil is produced in abundance. Just like our spiced roast chicken recipe, the chicken is spatchcocked. Also known as “butterflying,” this simple technique removes the chicken’s spine so the bird can lay flat as it roasts. This ensures the meat cooks quickly and evenly and stays juicy. It’s surprisingly easy and I’ll walk through it step-by-step!
The best part of this roast chicken recipe is that you do not need to marinate the chicken prior to baking.
