Method

  1. 1

    Heat the oven to 220C (200C fan, gas 7). Mix the olive oil, chilli flakes, garlic, lemon zest and juice, and rosemary together.

  2. 2

    Place the spatchcocked chicken on a large baking tray and rub the mixture all over, including under the skin where you can.

  3. 3

    Roast for 40-45 minutes, basting once halfway through, until the skin is golden and crisp and the juices run clear with no pink meat near the bone.

  4. 4

    Rest for 10 minutes before carving.
