Spatchcocked Roasted Whole Chicken With Hot Honey
A spatchcocked chicken is an easy way to lessen the cook time of a whole bird. Give the bird a little time to air dry in the refrigerator after removing it from its packaging for an even crispier skin. You'll be glazing with honey which will result in crispy goodness either way!
