Preparing your Chicken:
Your NIKU Farms chicken will come pre-flattened so you don’t have to spatchcock the poultry yourself. If you are using something else, refer below for how to spatchcock your chicken.
Place the chicken breast-side down with the wings/neck facing towards you. To remove the spine, use kitchen shears to cut through the ribs right next to the spine along both sides. Open rib cage and use a heavy knife to score down the sternum. This will help pop out the breast bone and flatten the chicken.
Flip the chicken over breast-side-up and set on the parchment-lined, rimmed baking half sheet. Using the palm of your hand, push firmly over the breast bone forcing the chicken to lay completely flat.
